Description:
A security issue has been reported in mod_ssl, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to an error in enforcing client-based certificate authentication ("SSLVerifyClient require") in per-location context, if "SSLVerifyClient optional" was configured in the global virtual host configuration. This may allow malicious people to bypass client-based certificate authentication and gain unauthorised access to certain web pages.
Solution:
mod_ssl 2.x:
Update to version 2.8.24.
http://www.modssl.org/source/mod_ssl-2.8.24-1.3.33.tar.gz
