Affected versions : all versions prior to mod_auth_openid-0.7
ID : mod_auth_openid-1201

filename). The db is world readable and the session ids are stored

they can steal all of the current openid authenticated sessions
# Workarounds
A quick improvement of the situation is to chmod 0400 the DB file.
Default location is /tmp/mod_auth_openid.db unless another location
has been configured in AuthOpenIDDBLocation.
