An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-12171 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apache Http Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12171/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c8w6-x7h9-gq97"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Red Hat httpd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A parsing regression in httpd allows attackers to bypass access controls and read restricted resources if specific configuration lines are used.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"A regression was found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 version of httpd 2.2.15-60, causing comments in the \"Allow\" and \"Deny\" configuration lines to be parsed incorrectly.
