TITLE:
Apache2 mod_ssl SSLCipherSuite Security Bypass

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA12787

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12787/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Apache 2.0.x
http://secunia.com/product/73/

DESCRIPTION:
A 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.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by vendor.
