high Nessus Plugin ID 190683

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server may be affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its Sever response header, the installed version of nginx is 1.25.x prior to 1.25.4. It may, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, undisclosed requests can cause NGINX worker processes to terminate. Note: The HTTP/3 QUIC module is not enabled by default and is considered experimental. (CVE-2024-24989, CVE-2024-24990)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to nginx 1.25.4 or later.
