Description

Apache-SSL contains a flaw that may permit a client to use real basic authentication to forge a client certificate. The flaw is present only when SSLVerifyClient is set to 1 or 3 and SSLFakeBasicAuth is set.

Classification

Location: Remote/Network Access Required
Attack Type: Authentication Management
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Exploit: Exploit Unknown
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

Apache-SSL 1.3.28+1.52 contains a flaw that may permit a client to use real basic authentication to forge a client certificitate. If Apache-SSL is configured with SSLVerifyClient set to 1 or 3 (client certificates optional) and SSLFakeBasicAuth, Apache-SSL 1.3.28+1.52 and all earlier versions would permit a client to use real basic authentication to forge a client certificate.

The attacker needs to have the "one-line DN" of a valid user, as used
by faked basic auth in Apache-SSL, and the fixed password ("password"
by default).

Solution

Upgrade to version Apache-SSL 1.3.29+1.53 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
