CVE-2021-26690 is a NULL pointer dereference in the Apache HTTP Server mod_session cookie-header parser. In affected Apache HTTP Server releases, a specially crafted Cookie header can cause mod_session to dereference a NULL pointer while processing session data. The issue affects versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.46; vendor tracking also characterizes versions before 2.4.48 as vulnerable, reflecting upstream release and backport handling.
