[Xymon] Xymon and apache 2.4.35 security problem

[Marco Avvisano]

Hi,

i also recently upgraded to Apache/2.4.41 and xymon 4.30 and i had the 
same problem.

I had to change from "Require all granted" to "Require all denied" to 
block access to  /xymon-seccgi,  but login not work for me

Here the section from ssl.conf :

ScriptAlias /xymon-seccgi/ "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-secure/"
<Directory "/usr/local/xymon/cgi-secure">
     AllowOverride None
     Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymLinks
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
         # Apache 2.4+
        Require all denied
    </IfModule>
     <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </IfModule>

     # Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.
     # Create it with "htpasswd -c 
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME"
     # Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd 
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd USERNAME"
     #
     # You can also use a group file to restrict admin access to members 
of a
     # group, instead of anyone who is logged in. In that case you must 
setup
     # the "xymongroups" file, and change the "Require" settings to require
     # a specific group membership. See the Apache docs for more details.

     AuthUserFile /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonpasswd
     AuthGroupFile /usr/loca/xymon/server/etc/xymongroups
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "Xymon Administration"

     # "valid-user" restricts access to anyone who is logged in.
     Require valid-user

     # "group admins" restricts access to users who have logged in, AND
     # are members of the "admins" group in xymongroups.
     #  Require group admins

</Directory>

Any Ideas ?

Best Regards,

Marco
