release 2.4.16.5

Bugfixes

• add backwards compatibility with versions older than 2.4.16.x wrt. ID token aud claim validation:

• add OIDCIDTokenAudValues configuration primitive that allows for explicit - and exhaustive - configuration of the list of accepted values in the aud claim of the ID token i.e. as required for passing FAPI 2 conformance testing

Security

• disable support for the RSA PKCS v1.5 JWE/JWT encryption algorithm as it is considered insecure due to the Marvin attack; it is removed from libcjose >= 0.6.2.3 as well; see GHSA-6x73-979p-x9jr

• add support for RFC 9126 OAuth 2.0 Pushed Authorization Requests
  configured through OIDCProviderPushedAuthorizationRequestEndpoint and OIDCProviderAuthRequestMethod PAR
• add the nbf claim to the Request Object
• store the token_type in the session and make it available on the info hook together with the access_token
• replace multi-provider .conf issuer_specific_redirect_uri boolean with response_require_iss boolean
  to require the Provider to pass the iss value in authorization responses, mitigating the OP mixup attack

release 2.4.16

superseded by 2.4.16.1 with a bugfix for parsing OIDCXForwardedHeaders, see: #1250

release 2.4.15.7

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.

Bugfixes

• fix OIDCUserInfoRefreshInterval and interpret the interval as seconds, not as microseconds (broken in 2.4.15.6)

Commercial

• binary packages for various other platforms such as Microsoft Windows 64bit/32bit, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8 on Power PC (ppc64, ppc64le), older Ubuntu and Debian distro's, Amazon Linux, SUSE Linux,, Oracle HTTP Server 11.1/12.1/12.2, IBM HTTP Server 8/9, and IBM AIX 7.x are available under a commercial agreement via [email protected]

release 2.4.15.6

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.

Bugfixes

• use SameSite=Lax when OIDCCookieSameSite is On (also the default since 2.4.15) instead of Strict as overriding from Lax to Strict does not work reliably anymore (i.e. on Chrome with certain plugins)
• signed_jwks_url: make the exp claim optional in signed JWK sets (OIDCProviderSignedJwksUri); see #1182; thanks @psteniusubi; ensures interoperability with the OpenID Federation specification
• cache: hash the cache key if it is larger than 512 bytes so large cache key entries (i.e. for JWT tokens) are no longer a problem in unencrypted SHM cache configs, i.e. the default shared memory cache setup; see issues/discussions on "could not construct cache key since key size is too large"
• cache: fix debug printout of cache key in oidc_cache_get introduced in 2.4.15
• http: fix applying the default HTTP short retry interval setting and use 300ms as default value
• userinfo: fix setting the exp claim in userinfo signed JWTs (exp would be now+0) when no expires_in is returned by the OpenID Connect Provider
• userinfo: fix signed JWT caching (if enabled) when the TTL is set to 0 or "" which should apply the exp claim as the cache TTL
• refresh: fix for expires_in string values returned from the token endpoint that would be interpreted as 0; this fixes using OIDCRefreshAccessTokenBeforeExpiry and OIDCUserInfoRefreshInterval with (older) Azure AD configs that would result in a token refresh on every request since 2.4.15 or a 401 in 2.4.14.4
• authz: fix evaluation of Require claim statements for nested array claims
• authz: properly handle parse errors in Require claim <name>:<integer> statements
• fix setting the default PKCE method to none in a multi-provider setup

Other

• userinfo refresh: don't try to refresh the access token and retry when a connectivity error has occurred
• logout: don't try to revoke tokens on post-access-token-refresh or post-userinfo-refresh-errors logouts
• (internal) session state: represent timestamps as JSON integers instead of strings, as also returned from the info hook

Features

• signed_jwks_uri: accept verification key set formatted as either JWK or JWKS; see #1191; thanks @psteniusubi
• redis: enable TCP keepalive on Redis connections by default and make it configurable with:
  OIDCRedisCacheConnectTimeout <connect-timeout> [0|<keep-alive-interval>]
• proto: accept strings as well as integers in the expires_in claim from the token endpoint to cater for non-spec compliant implementations
• userinfo: accept 0 in OIDCUserInfoRefreshInterval which will refresh userinfo on every request
• authz: add support for JSON real and null value matching in Require claim statements

Commercial

• binary packages for various other platforms such as Microsoft Windows 64bit/32bit, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8 on Power PC (ppc64, ppc64le), older Ubuntu and Debian distro's, SUSE Linux,, Oracle HTTP Server 11.1/12.1/12.2, IBM HTTP Server 8/9, and IBM AIX 7.x are available under a commercial agreement via [email protected]

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

Commercial
