Description

mod_ssl contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass certain security restrictions. The issue is 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. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to bypass client-based certificate authentication, resulting in a loss of confidentiality or integrity.
