Hi, The following vulnerability was published for libapache2-mod-auth-openidc. CVE-2024-24814[0]: | mod_auth_openidc is an OpenID Certified™ authentication and | authorization module for the Apache 2.x HTTP server that implements | the OpenID Connect Relying Party functionality. In affected versions | missing input validation on mod_auth_openidc_session_chunks cookie | value makes the server vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) | attack. An internal security audit has been conducted and the | reviewers found that if they manipulated the value of the | mod_auth_openidc_session_chunks cookie to a very large integer, like | 99999999, the server struggles with the request for a long time and | finally gets back with a 500 error. Making a few requests of this | kind caused our server to become unresponsive. Attackers can craft | requests that would make the server work very hard (and possibly | become unresponsive) and/or crash with minimal effort. This issue | has been addressed in version 2.4.15.2. Users are advised to | upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
