Hi,
The vulnerability was reported for 4.0.3.  That's not the same as only
affecting 4.0.3 ;)  4.0.6 and later, including 4.1.x, 5.0.x, and 5.5.x, should
be fine.  I think 3.3.x is fine as well.

This is a trivial vulnerability to test: ask the server for a resource that
does not exist, and look at the contents of the 404 error page.

This is also a trivial vulnerability to work around if you absolutely cannot
change server versions: put in a custom 404 error page with whatever content
you want.
