CVE-2021-32791

mod_auth_openidc is an authentication/authorization module for the Apache 2.x HTTP server that functions as an OpenID Connect Relying Party, authenticating users against an OpenID Connect Provider. In mod_auth_openidc before version 2.4.9, the AES GCM encryption in mod_auth_openidc uses a static IV and AAD. It is important to fix because this creates a static nonce and since aes-gcm is a stream cipher, this can lead to known cryptographic issues, since the same key is being reused. From 2.4.9 onwards this has been patched to use dynamic values through usage of cjose AES encryption routines.

mod_auth_openidc es un módulo de autenticación/autorización para el servidor HTTP Apache versión 2.x que funciona como OpenID Connect Relying Party, autenticando a usuarios contra un OpenID Connect Provider. En mod_auth_openidc versiones anteriores a 2.4.9, el cifrado AES GCM en mod_auth_openidc usa un IV estático y un AAD. Es importante corregirlo porque esto crea un nonce estático y como aes-gcm es un cifrado de flujo, esto puede conllevar a problemas criptográficos conocidos, ya que se está reutilizando la misma clave. A partir de la versión 2.4.9 esto ha sido parcheado para usar valores dinámicos mediante el uso de rutinas de cifrado AES cjose
