nginx Data Disclosure Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 118151

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a data disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its Server response header, the installed version of nginx is prior to 1.12.1 or 1.13.x prior to 1.13.3.
It is, therefore, affected by an integer overflow vulnerability in the range filter module. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request to disclose potentially sensitive information.

Solution

Either apply the patch manually or upgrade to nginx 1.12.1 / 1.13.3 or later.
