Description

Hartmut Keil has reported a security issue in Apache2, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The problem is that a client can access a location using any cipher suite allowed by the virtual host configuration even though access to that location has been configured to require a specific set of cipher suites.

Successful exploitation requires that the mod_ssl module has been configured with the "SSLCipherSuite" directive in directory or location context.

The security issue affects versions 2.0.35 through 2.0.52.


Solution
Update to version 2.0.53.
