Summary
CVE-2026-54789 affecting package mod_auth_openidc 2.4.14.2-2
Details

modauthopenidc is an OpenID Certified authentication and authorization module for the Apache 2.x HTTP server that implements the OpenID Connect Relying Party functionality. Prior to 2.4.19.4, an out-of-bounds read and a one-byte out-of-bounds write exist in the state-cookie parser of mod_auth_openidc. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.19.4 by stopping the scan at the string terminator so a value-less token is rejected. No in-product workarounds are available. As a stop-gap, an upstream reverse proxy or WAF that rejects or normalizes malformed Cookie headers (tokens lacking =) can reduce exposure, but upgrading is the recommended remediation.
