Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
In certain configurations, it can be possible to bypass restrictions |
19 |
set by the "SSLCipherSuite" directive of mod_ssl. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the |
25 |
internet. mod_ssl provides SSL v2/v3 and TLS v1 support for Apache 1.3 |
26 |
and is also included in Apache 2. |

Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
A flaw has been found in mod_ssl where the "SSLCipherSuite" directive |
45 |
could be bypassed in certain configurations if it is used in a |
46 |
directory or location context to restrict the set of allowed cipher |
47 |
suites. |
48 |
|
49 |
Impact |
50 |
====== |
51 |
|
52 |
A remote attacker could gain access to a location using any cipher |
53 |
suite allowed by the server/virtual host configuration, disregarding |
54 |
the restrictions by "SSLCipherSuite" for that location. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
All Apache 2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge sync |
67 |
|
68 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/apache-2.0.52" |
69 |
# emerge ">=net-www/apache-2.0.52" |
70 |
|
71 |
All mod_ssl users should upgrade to the latest version: |
72 |
|
73 |
# emerge sync |
74 |
|
75 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.20" |
76 |
# emerge ">=net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.20" |
