           Summary: .htaccess file ignored if AllowOverride None is used
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: unruh@physics.ubc.ca


The .htaccess file appears to be being ignored if the AllowOverride None
directive is in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. This has changed in the newest
Apache on 
Mandrive 2007 ( 2.2.3)
This is a security disaster.

.htaccess is not a security feature, it's convenience.

Speaking of security: Running a software -- which can everyone in the world
access -- with default parameters without even looking at them is the root of
the evil here.

There is still no bug in sight.

OK, you want response I guess, so I will give one. 

.htaccess is and has been advocated in many places as the way to institute
security. The reason it is claimed as a myth is precisely because it is so
widely practiced. Also it makes much more sense to associate security with the
directory that is being secured than it is to burry it in a config file that
only the sysadmin is able to get at and forget about. Ie, not only is it widely
practiced, it is a sensible practice. Except on a very high volume web sites,
the overhead is minimal, and for those  high volume sites, having alternatives
in the .conf file is a great idea. 
 

b) I have suggested time and again, but you are not listening, that if
AllowOverride None is there, the presence of a .htaccess file should disallow 
access, not allow it. Security defaults should NOT, by default, switch off security.
Yes, .htaccess CAN be used for other things. I suspect that if you look around
the world, by far the greatest use of .htaccess is to limit access to
directories-- to impliment security. Ignoring that may be convenient to you, but
 I still place it in the "That's not a bug, that's a feature" category.

c) In the .conf file, AllowOverride None is called "conservative" and no mention
is made that this disables .htaccess completely. This is just wrong. Apache, as
with all computer programs, is used by people who have other jobs to do and do
not memorize the manual. They trust what is written in the sample .conf files.

d) apache has changed from Apache1 to apache2 with massive changes to the .conf
files structures, changes which continue. Furthermore for most Linux
distributions the advice is "reinstall, do not upgrade". That means that on each
reinstall .conf files must be recreated.  And a simple diff between the old and
new is impossible because so many changes have been made. It is simply
impossible for anyone without a massive excess of time on their hands to go
through each and every one of the options once again to see what it does, to see
if it destroys previously built security. One assumes that the defaults Apache
puts in will not disable security, especially from a group who claims to value
security. And to add insult to injury, Apache claims that this destruction of a
security barrier is "conservative" practice.

e) The claim "You are the first to complain about this" is the resort of
incompetent and shady businesses around the world.  I suspect that there are
still a number of bugs in apache which have been there since day 1. To dismiss a
bug report on that basis is simply idiotic. Read my resoning and argue with
that. Do not claim "tradition" to defend a bad security practice.

In my opinion, this IS a bug, and for you to defend it on the basis that it has
always been there so its OK simply makes you look bad.

Obviously this thread has already gone too far, but I can't resist.

What you don't seem to realize is that there are important reasons why you
*wouldn't* want apache to need to check for the existence of .htaccess.  In
particular, this is a significant performance drain for high-traffic static-file
sites.  

So you want to make it impossible to tune apache for high performance, because
security may be compromised by admin errors.  By the same logic, we should
remove the plain-HTTP protocol from the server and only allow SSL/TLS. 
Otherwise a bad admin could disclose sensitive information to hackers.  (Oh, and
obviously we also need to remove the AccessFileName directive, since changing
this would also cause .htaccess files to be ignored.)  

In addition, your problem was caused by multiple errors on your end.  First,
your admin made an error when upgrading.  Second, you are not following best
practices for avoiding disclosure of confidential information.  This information
should 1) not be in a web-accessible directory; and 2) have unix file-system
permissions forbidding access to the webserver process.

------- Additional Comments From unruh@physics.ubc.ca  2007-03-05 13:42 -------
Let me try once again. 
A .htaccess file on a directory should mean that the organizer of that directory
wants to place some access control on that directory. That is why apache, when
it finds a .htaccess file which it cannot read ( eg due to permissions) it
disallows all access. It assumes that the user has made a mistake, which
happens. (Good software design is in part trying to figure out what mistakes a
user could make and anticipates them). 
In this case, a .htaccess file exists, and if for some reason the .conf file is
changed ( as happens when people upgrade, or reinstall) and if it happens that
the  config file has AllowOverride None ( which is the default apparently) then
suddenly the .htaccess files are ignored. 
This is a security hole and a bug, no matter if this is how it has always been
or not. 

I am a non- maive user, and I have been bitten. Whether or not I should have
known that AllowOverride None disables all .htaccess files or not is irrelevant.
Anything which destroys security is a bug.

Note that there is nothing in the manual either that states that AllowOverride
None makes .htaccess files ignored. 
Note also that the description of the AllowOverride says that None is the most
conservative choice. It is not, it is the most insecure choice.

The presence of a .htaccess file should always trigger security, with the
default being no access. The default should NEVER be to allow all access if a
.htaccess file exists.

Now I am confused. It would be a security disaster if httpd would apply the
settings of .htaccess in the case that AllowOverride is set to None. Do you
state that this is the case since 2.2.3?

If you say so. In that case it must be true that AllowOverride default has
changed. However, in my case a .htaccess file exists in the directory, but
AllowOverride was none, and all of the files in that directory were accessible
by everyone. That is simply wrong behaviour. It should work the same as if the
.htaccess file is unreadable but there-- ie permission denied, not allowed. 

I do not have my old httpd.conf files so do not know if the default has changed,
but it certainly used to be the case that the .htaccess files controlled the
access to teh directory, and I certainly never recall altering the AllowOverride
parameter. But the way it works now is just wrong. The default should not be
universal access even in the presence of an .htaccess file. 
Security should be conservative, not liberal.

As Andr� already said, .htaccess has nothing to do with security.  Except by
coincidence, where a user chooses to make it so.

Nonsense.  Installing a new version of Apache preserves your existing
httpd.conf, including AllowOverride settings.  To have messed it up, you must
have done something more than just upgrade.

We also take performance seriously, so if there wasn't an option to disable the
htaccess overhead, we'd have to invent one.

But this particular behaviour hasn't changed since Apache 1.0 in 1995.  That's a
long time before someone reported it as a bug.

OK, it is clear that this is not going to be addressed. One of the selling
points of Apache is taking security seriously, but in this case tradition is
clearly more important than security. 

It is true that I went by the comments in the .conf file re the AllowOverride
and did not see the comment in the documentation that None would disable all
.htaccess. Note that the "Myths" clearly states "The only people to use
.htaccess should be end-users who want control without having to bug the server
admin." Which means that some action on the part of the sysadmin ( changing the
AllowOverride to None) either deliberately or by accident ( installing a new
version of Apache) can destroy the user's security. I would call that a design
bug, but apparently this is a feature, not a bug. 

I had a bunch of solutions for assignments on a web directlory which was not
supposed to be seen by students ( and no I do not want to bury the security deep
inside a config file which changes each time the system is upgraded-- security
belongs with the stuff being protected, not buried somewhere else) and suddenly
discovered it was available to all. ( I had my own machine as allowd in the

I will continue to think that this is idiotic behaviour for anyone who takes

------- Additional Comments From unruh@physics.ubc.ca  2007-03-06 08:52 -------
Yes, it has gone on too long and I think both our positions are clear.
 However, I want nothing of the sort. 

a) I want at the very least a warning in the .conf file that setting 
AllowOverride None
disables all .htaccess control.

b) At the next level, the disabling of .htacceess control should not be 
overloaded onto a configuration option which also does something else. Put in a
separate DisableAccessControl directive, which would make it abundantly clear to
administrators. 

c) Yes, my situation did result from a number of errors, eg, Apache not warning
that AllowOverride None disables all .htaccess control and that the description
of that option claims it to be the default and to be conservative. Good software
design anticipates user's stupidities, and at the very least warns uses where
problems could occur.

I also notice that you continue to not respond to my suggestions or complaints,
but operate in a "blame the user" mode. 

This report is at the very least feedback, that there is a SECURITY issue here
that has bitten at least one user ( and by the rules of all business practice,
if one user complains, it probably means 1000 users have had theproblem and not
bothered to complain). As I said, from the response I do not believe that you
will do anything at all about this. I clearly have no control over that. I will
continue to use Apache, but will no longer believe claims that Apache takes
security seriously. But I guess that is just my opinion and my problem.
