Subject: CVE-2017-3167: Apache httpd 2.x ap_get_basic_auth_pw authentication
bypass
CVE-2017-3167: ap_get_basic_auth_pw authentication bypass
Severity: Important
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
httpd 2.2.0 to 2.2.32
httpd 2.4.0 to 2.4.25
Description:
Use of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() by third-party modules outside of the
authentication phase may lead to authentication requirements being
bypassed.
Mitigation:
2.2.x users should either apply the patch available at
https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.2.32/CVE-2017-3167.patch
or upgrade in the future to 2.2.33, which is currently unreleased.
2.4.x users should upgrade to 2.4.26.
Third-party module writers SHOULD use ap_get_basic_auth_components(),
available in 2.2.33 and 2.4.26, instead of ap_get_basic_auth_pw().
Modules which call the legacy ap_get_basic_auth_pw() during the
authentication phase MUST either immediately authenticate the user after
the call, or else stop the request immediately with an error response,
to avoid incorrectly authenticating the current request.
