| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the `mod_auth` module of OTP's inets httpd server. When configured with multiple directory configuration blocks and using `dets` or `mnesia` authentication backends, the module incorrectly collapses all directory blocks into a single shared user/group namespace. This allows a user authenticated for one protected directory to gain unauthorized access to other protected directories on the same server instance, leading to an authentication bypass.
