Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to access control bypass with session resumption in mod_ssl. A remote attacker can use the TLS 1.3 session resumption to bypass implemented access control.

Configurations are affected when mod_ssl is configured for multiple virtual hosts, with each restricted to a different set of trusted client certificates (for example with a different SSLCACertificateFile/Path setting). In such a case, a client trusted to access one virtual host may be able to access another virtual host, if SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck is not enabled in either virtual host.
