Updated apache-mod_nss package fixes CVE-2013-4566

Publication date: 20 Dec 2013
Modification date: 20 Dec 2013
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 3
CVE: CVE-2013-4566

Description

Updated apache-mod_nss package fixes security vulnerability:

A flaw was found in the way mod_nss handled the NSSVerifyClient setting for
the per-directory context. When configured to not require a client
certificate for the initial connection and only require it for a specific
directory, mod_nss failed to enforce this requirement and allowed a client
to access the directory when no valid client certificate was provided
(CVE-2013-4566).
