<p>
The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
Internet. mod_ssl provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for Apache 1.3
and is also included in Apache 2.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
mod_ssl contains a security issue when "SSLVerifyClient optional" is
configured in the global virtual host configuration (CAN-2005-2700).
Also, Apache's httpd includes a PCRE library, which makes it vulnerable
to an integer overflow (CAN-2005-2491).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Under a specific configuration, mod_ssl does not properly enforce the
client-based certificate authentication directive, "SSLVerifyClient
require", in a per-location context, which could be potentially used by
a remote attacker to bypass some restrictions. By creating a specially
crafted ".htaccess" file, a local attacker could possibly exploit
Apache's vulnerability, which would result in a local privilege
escalation.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All mod_ssl users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.24&quot;</code>
<p>
All Apache 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r15&quot;</code>
