Last modified

CVE-2004-2343 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Apache HTTP Server 2.0.47 and earlier allows local users to bypass .htaccess file restrictions, as specified in httpd.conf with directives such as Deny From All, by using an ErrorDocument directive. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, since the .htaccess mechanism is only intended to restrict external web access, and a local user already has the privileges to perform the same operations without using ErrorDocument. EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
