The mod_auth_openidc is an OpenID Connect authentication module for Apache HTTP Server. It enables an Apache HTTP Server to operate as an OpenID Connect Relying Party and/or OAuth 2.0 Resource Server. Security Fix(es): * mod_auth_openidc: mod_auth_openidc: Denial of Service via malformed state cookie parsing (CVE-2026-54789) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

mod_auth_openidc is an OpenID Certified authentication and authorization module for the Apache 2.x HTTP server that implements the OpenID Connect Relying Party functionality. Prior to 2.4.19.4, an out-of-bounds read and a one-byte out-of-bounds write exist in the state-cookie parser of `mod_auth_openidc`. The issue is fixed in version 2.4.19.4 by stopping the scan at the string terminator so a value-less token is rejected. No in-product workarounds are available. As a stop-gap, an upstream reverse proxy or WAF that rejects or normalizes malformed `Cookie` headers (tokens lacking `=`) can reduce exposure, but upgrading is the recommended remediation.
