NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpd:2.4/mod_http2 package and not the httpd:2.4/mod_http2 package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 release 2.4.37 and prior, mod_session checks the session expiry time before decoding the session. This causes session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded.
