mod_nss (SL5, SL6)

Synopsis: Moderate: mod_nss security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1779-1
Issue Date: 2013-12-03
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4566

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)

The httpd service must be restarted for this update to take effect.
