CVE-2026-29168

A flaw was found in the mod_md module of httpd. When processing OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) responses from a malicious or compromised OCSP responder, the module fails to enforce proper size limits on the incoming data. This issue leads to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
