DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5081

Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId versions from 1.54 through 1.94 for Perl session ids are insecure.  Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId (added in version 1.54) uses the value of the UNIQUEID environment variable for the session id. The UNIQUEID variable is set by the Apache moduniqueid plugin, which generates unique ids for the request. The id is based on the IPv4 address, the process id, the epoch time, a 16-bit counter and a thread index, with no obfuscation.  The server IP is often available to the public, and if not available, can be guessed from previous session ids being issued. The process ids may also be guessed from previous session ids. The timestamp is easily guessed (and leaked in the HTTP Date response header).  The purpose of moduniqueid is to assign a unique id to requests so that events can be correlated in different logs. The id is not designed, nor is it suitable for security purposes.
