Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass via the ssl_hook_ReadReq() when configured for multiple virtual hosts, each with a different set of trusted client certificates. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another virtual host by leveraging TLS 1.3 session resumption if they already possess valid client certificates for one host.

Note: This is only exploitable if the SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck directive is not enabled on either virtual host and the server is configured with complex, multi-tenant SSL client authentication setups.
