Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libapache2-mod-auth-openidc.

CVE-2021-32786[0]:
| 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
| versions prior to 2.4.9, `oidc_validate_redirect_url()` does not parse
| URLs the same way as most browsers do. As a result, this function can
| be bypassed and leads to an Open Redirect vulnerability in the logout
| functionality. This bug has been fixed in version 2.4.9 by replacing
| any backslash of the URL to redirect with slashes to address a
| particular breaking change between the different specifications
| (RFC2396 / RFC3986 and WHATWG). As a workaround, this vulnerability
| can be mitigated by configuring `mod_auth_openidc` to only allow
| redirection whose destination matches a given regular expression.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
