Moderate
zandbelt published GHSA-f5xw-rvfr-24qr Apr 3, 2023

Package

mod_auth_openidc

Affected versions

>=2.0.0 <=2.4.13.1

Patched versions

>= 2.4.13.2

Description

Impact

When OIDCStripCookies is set and a crafted cookie supplied, a NULL pointer dereference would occur, resulting in a segmentation fault. This could be used in a Denial-of-Service attack and thus presents an availability risk.

Patches

Upgrade to a version >= 2.4.13.2. The patch is recorded here:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
