Descriptions

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.

Vulnerabilidad en la función ap_some_auth_required en ap_some_auth_required del Servidor HTTP Apache en su versión 2.4.x anteriores a la 2.4.14 no considera que una directiva Require puede estar asociada con el establecimiento de una autorización en lugar de un ajuste de autenticación lo cual permite a atacantes remotos evadir las restricciones destinadas al acceso en circunstancias oportunas mediante el aprovechamiento de la presencia de un módulo que se basa en el comportamiento en la API 2.2.

It was discovered that in httpd 2.4, the internal API function ap_some_auth_required() could incorrectly indicate that a request was authenticated even when no authentication was used. An httpd module using this API function could consequently allow access that should have been denied.
