Name        : mod_nss
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 1.0.8
Release     : 28.fc20
URL         : http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mod_nss
Summary     : SSL/TLS module for the Apache HTTP server
Description :
The mod_nss module provides strong cryptography for the Apache Web
server via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer
Security (TLS) protocols using the Network Security Services (NSS)
security library.

Update Information:

A flaw was found in the way NSSVerifyClient was handled when used in both
 server / vhost context as well as directory context (specified either via <Directory> or <Location> directive).  If 'NSSVerifyClient none' was set in the server / vhost context (i.e. when server is configured to not request or require client certificate authentication on the initial connection), and client certificate authentication was expected to be required for a specific directory via 'NSSVerifyClient require' setting, mod_nss failed to properly require expected certificate authentication.  Remote attacker able to connect to the web server using such mod_nss configuration and without a valid client certificate could possibly use this flaw to access content of the restricted directories.
