Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

A regression was found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 version of httpd 2.2.15-60, causing comments in the "Allow" and "Deny" configuration lines to be parsed incorrectly. A web administrator could unintentionally allow any client to access a restricted HTTP resource.
