Apache 2, mod_ssl: Bypass of SSLCipherSuite directive Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-21 (Apache 2, mod_ssl: Bypass of SSLCipherSuite directive) A flaw has been found in mod_ssl where the "SSLCipherSuite" directive could be bypassed in certain configurations if it is used in a directory or location context to restrict the set of permited cipher suites. Impact A remote attacker could gain access to a location using any cipher suite permited by the server/virtual host configuration, disregarding the restrictions by "SSLCipherSuite" for that location. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
