OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc v2.4.15.3

release 2.4.15.3

on GitHub

The 2.4.15.x releases change a number of default settings to their more secure and standards-compliant values. In rare cases this may break existing configurations which can be restored as described below. Nevertheless it is recommended to update the environment to accommodate to the new defaults.

Security

• fix CVE-2024-24814: prevent DoS when OIDCSessionType client-cookie is set and a crafted Cookie header is supplied, see the advisory; thanks @olipo186

Bugfixes

• rewrite handling of parallel refresh token grant requests
  • temporarily cache the results of the refresh token grant for other (almost) parallel callers
  • fixes handing on the same server, and improves clustered handling through a best-effort distributed cached lock, see: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc/wiki/Known-Limitations#parallel-refresh-token-grants
  • improves handling of non-rollover refresh tokens since it avoids superfluous calls to the token endpoint
• avoid crash when Forwarded is not present but OIDCXForwardedHeaders Forwarded is configured for it; see #1171; thanks @daviddpd
• set Redis default retry interval time to 300 milliseconds (instead of 0.5ms) and make it configurable
