[Bug 1794629] Re: CVE-2018-15473 - User enumeration vulnerability

[Vital Koshalew]

@root (mysky),

Qualys is slow to fix their detection algorithm. You just need to provide them with False Positive report citing the vendor documentation (https://usn.ubuntu.com/3809-1/). 
Faking software version is the last thing someone should do to be PCI DSS compliant.
