    <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>
    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>
  </resolution>
