Amazon Linux 2 : nginx (ALASNGINX1-2024-007)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 206814

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of nginx installed on the remote host is prior to 1.22.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2NGINX1-2024-007 advisory.

 NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module, which might allow an attacker to over-read NGINX worker memory resulting in its termination, using a specially crafted mp4 file. The issue only affects NGINX if it is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module and the mp4 directive is used in the configuration file. Additionally, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger the processing of a specially crafted mp4 file with the ngx_http_mp4_module. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2024-7347)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update nginx' to update your system.
