user name on the remote host.");

"When configured with the 'UserDir' option, requests to URLs containing
a tilde followed by a username will redirect the user to a given
subdirectory in the user home.

For instance, by default, requesting /~root/ displays the HTML
contents from /root/public_html/.

If the username requested does not exist, then Apache will reply with
a different error code. Therefore, an attacker may exploit this
vulnerability to guess the presence of a given user name on the remote
host.");
