    <p>
    A bug in the way Apache handles the Satisfy directive, which is used to
    require that certain conditions (client host, client authentication, etc)
    be met before access to a certain directory is granted, could allow the
    exposure of protected directories to unauthorized clients.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    Directories containing protected data could be exposed to all visitors to
    the webserver.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.51-r1"
    # emerge ">=www-servers/apache-2.0.51-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
