CVE-2025-31492 - mod_auth_openidc

Our security team alerted me to a recently announced vulnerability in mod_auth_openidc:

We have some RHEL 8 systems running OOD. While Red Hat has released updated packages to fix this issue, I see a higher version of mod_auth_openidc hosted in the OOD repo which was last updated in 2023. Could you tell me:

  • if you are planning on backporting this fix?
  • or, is there some significant difference in functionality that would prevent me from blacklisting the package in OOD repo (2.4.14.1) and using the latest RHEL 8 release (2.4.9.4)?

Thanks,
Yan

We’re not planning to backport this fix and yes you can likely exclude this package from your yum repos.

Indeed - I don’t see we distribute this anymore. It appears on our 2.0 repos, but it’s not on our 3.0 and beyond versions. So upgrading is also a OnDemand is also a way to get rid of this package as it’s only on the 2.0 repositories and below.
