Debian DLA-1996-1 : libapache2-mod-auth-openidc security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 131135

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A security vulnerability was found in libapache2-mod-auth-openidc, the OpenID Connect authentication module for the Apache HTTP server.

Insufficient validation of URLs leads to an Open Redirect vulnerability. An attacker may trick a victim into providing credentials for an OpenID provider by forwarding the request to an illegitimate website.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.0-1+deb8u2.

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

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libapache2-mod-auth-openidc package.
