Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Not Failing Securely ('Failing Open') due to the httpd process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to protected content by exploiting misconfigured CIDR masks in the configuration file. This is only exploitable if the configuration contains invalid CIDR prefix lengths in IP deny rules.
