I remember back in the day I used to field security scan reports for a client I consulted for, and the amount of things I had to mark as "not actually a problem" because all they did was check Apache header versions was staggering. This is slightly better than and slightly worse than your situation at the same time. Slightly better in that they were looking for versions that had actual exploits known in them, but slightly worse in that they had no way to deal with distros that back-patched for vulnerabilities, like RHEL (which was the distro in question). "Yes, I'm aware that that the version of Apache you are noting contains a vulnerability. No, it's not actually a problem or exploitable, since I already applied the patched update. Just like last week. And the week before that."
