The version of nginx installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.0-1.44. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1665 advisory.

  - NGINX Open Source before versions 1.23.2 and 1.22.1, NGINX Open Source Subscription before versions R2 P1     and R1 P1, and NGINX Plus before versions R27 P1 and R26 P1 have a vulnerability in the module     ngx_http_mp4_module that might allow a local attacker to corrupt NGINX worker memory, resulting in its     termination or potential other impact using a specially crafted audio or video file. The issue affects     only NGINX products that are built with the ngx_http_mp4_module, when the mp4 directive is used in the     configuration file. Further, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger processing of a     specially crafted audio or video file with the module ngx_http_mp4_module. (CVE-2022-41741)

The issue affects only     NGINX products that are built with the module ngx_http_mp4_module, when the mp4 directive is used in the     configuration file.
