How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 apache2-devel to version 2.4.33-3.9.7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apache2-devel package and not the apache2-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 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.
