How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod24_nss package and not the mod24_nss package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2018.03 relevant fixed versions and status.

mod_nss 1.0.8 and earlier, when NSSVerifyClient is set to none for the server/vhost context, does not enforce the NSSVerifyClient setting in the directory context, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
