Debian: DLA-3752-2 Urgent: libcurl Denial of Service Vulnerability

debian lts
Calendar Grey March 5, 2024
Dist Debian Esm H88
An update for Debian LTS designated as DLA-3751-1 resolves a denial of service vulnerability found in the libapache2-mod-auth-openidc module.
It was discovered that there was a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack in libapache2-mod-auth-openidc, an OpenID Connect (OpenIDC) module for the Apache web server

Summary

Missing input validation on mod_auth_openidc_session_chunks cookie
value made the server vulnerable to this attack. If an attacker
manipulated the value of the OpenIDC cookie to a very large integer
like 99999999, the server struggled with the request for a long time
and finally returned a 500 error. Making a few requests of this kind
caused servers to become unresponsive, and so attackers could thereby
craft requests that would make the server work very hard and/or crash
with minimal effort.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
2.3.10.2-1+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libapache2-mod-auth-openidc packages.

For the detailed security status of libapache2-mod-auth-openidc please refer to
