NVD Description

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

mod_auth_openidc is an authentication and authorization module for the Apache 2.x HTTP server that implements the OpenID Connect Relying Party functionality. In versions 2.0.0 through 2.4.13.1, 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. Version 2.4.13.2 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, avoid using OIDCStripCookies.
