Description
Apache 2 before 2.0.47, and certain versions of mod_ssl for Apache 1.3, do not properly handle "certain sequences of per-directory renegotiations and the SSLCipherSuite directive being used to upgrade from a weak ciphersuite to a strong one," which could cause Apache to use the weak ciphersuite.
