Bug#572075: apache2-common: standard apache2.conf is insecure with respect to Satisfy any

[Heiko Schlittermann <hs@schlittermann.de>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny6
Severity: important
Tags: patch


The apache2.conf contains 

	<Files ~ "^\.ht">
	    Order allow,deny
	    Deny from all
	</Files>

If in some other part of the configuration file (e.g. 
inside some virtual host configuration) the
AuthType, ... Required ... directives *and* "Satisfy any"
is used, it seems to apply to the above mentioned <Files>...
too. Thus *any* authenticated user may access the .ht* files.

I consider this as a serious security issue.
Adding "Satisfy all" to the above block would solve this and
should not harm otherwise.
