Description Mark J. Cox 2004-10-28 12:53:49 UTC 
An issue has been discovered in the mod_ssl module when configured to
use the &quot;SSLCipherSuite&quot; directive in directory or location
context.
If a particular location context has been configured to require a
specific set of cipher suites, then a client will be able to access
that location using any cipher suite allowed by the virtual host
configuration.

This issue was reported in Apache bugzilla.

This is a fairly rare and uncommon configuration, so the security
impact is low.
