- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, disable nonce-count verification by setting `AuthDigestNcCheck Off` within the relevant configuration context in `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf` or `/etc/httpd/conf.d/`: AuthDigestNcCheck Off Alternatively, if Digest authentication is not required, disable `mod_auth_digest` by commenting out the corresponding `LoadModule auth_digest_module` line in `/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf`. After modifying the configuration, reload the service: systemctl reload httpd Caveats: Disabling `AuthDigestNcCheck` removes server-side nonce-count checking, reducing replay protection for Digest authentication. Warning: Reloading the httpd service can momentarily disrupt in-flight connections.
