Apache2 mod_ssl SSLCipherSuite Security Bypass

   
ApacheA security issue has been reported 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.

SOFTWARE:
Apache 2.0.x

SOLUTION:
The issue has been fixed in version 2.0.53-dev.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by vendor.
