CVE-2026-29167 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server affecting mod_ldap when used in per-directory configuration. The flaw affects Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.67 and arises from a dangling-pointer condition in mod_ldap processing for per-directory configuration contexts, including scenarios involving LDAP-related directives in .htaccess when the relevant override behavior is permitted. A successful trigger can cause memory corruption and unstable process behavior in the httpd worker handling the request. The issue was fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68.
