Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny6 Severity: important Tags: patch
The apache2.conf contains <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> If in some other part of the configuration file (e.g. inside some virtual host configuration) the AuthType, ... Required ... directives *and* "Satisfy any" is used, it seems to apply to the above mentioned <Files>... too. Thus *any* authenticated user may access the .ht* files. I consider this as a serious security issue. Adding "Satisfy all" to the above block would solve this and should not harm otherwise. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-apache-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
