Vulnerability identifier: #VU32392
Vulnerability risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID:
CWE-ID:
CWE-264
Exploitation vector: Network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
Apache HTTP Server
Server applications /
Web servers
Vendor: Apache Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
The ap_some_auth_required function in server/request.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.14 does not consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the presence of a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versions
Apache HTTP Server: 2.4.0 - 2.4.13
