Yoshihide,

The CERT/CC advisory for this vulnerability (VU#767506) lists the Apache HTTP 
Server Project as "Not Affected":

https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/767506

The project was notified on 2025-05-28 and the status was confirmed on 
2025-08-13.

Regarding the detection tool reporting a positive result — the tool may be 
detecting generic HTTP/2 behavior (like window management) that doesn't 
actually lead to the exploitable condition in httpd's case. The CERT/CC status 
is the authoritative determination from the project itself.

Hope that helps,

--Rich
