CVE-2026-34356 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server affecting the reverse cookie mapping functionality associated with the ProxyPassReverseCookie* directives, specifically noted in relation to ProxyPassReverseCookieMap. The flaw affects Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.67. The issue can be triggered when httpd processes data from a malicious, untrusted, compromised, or non-TLS backend server while reverse proxy cookie rewriting is enabled. Under those conditions, backend-supplied cookie-related data can cause memory corruption in heap-allocated structures during reverse cookie mapping operations.
