Comment (by leedxw):

 Tracking down some fatal errors in the logs, a (third-party scan) direct
 request to
 {{{
 GET /wp-admin/options-head.php
 }}}

 will result in 500 and a stack trace:

 {{{
 PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function
 wp_reset_vars() in /var/www/html/wp-admin/options-head.php:11
 Stack trace:
 #0 {main}
   thrown in /var/www/html/wp-admin/options-head.php on line 11
 }}}
