Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.67 and earlier allows local .htaccess authors to read files with the privileges of the httpd user.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from through 2.4.67.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes the issue.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
