Information about security



Hi,

I'm a french student in security, and i have a question :

I recently audit my company and see in the server response the http server version (eg for debian buster : apache v2.4.38).

1st I know that : this response must not contain this information.

2nd When i search CVE about this version, i have a list of them here : https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-45/product_id-66/version_id-278546/Apache-Http-Server-2.4.38.html

Because i'm just a student, when i saw all this CVE, i wrote in my report "Update this apache version" but i was surprised to learn that the version was already uptodate !


So that is my question :

How to know exactly if this package is already update ?

I have seen in you FAQ: https://www.debian.org/security/faq#version

But for apache2, the command i know are :

> apache2 -v or httpd -v

Who return: Server version: Apache/2.4.38 (Debian)


But how to compare exactly the version, or how to know which security patch are applied or missed for this package ?

Is there a local automatic tool to do that ? (eg Nessus / OpenVas for remote vulnerability scann, but some vulnerabilities are accessible only localy)


Thanks in advance for your answer, and really thanks for your work on debian :)

Have a good day :)

Steph
