medium Nessus Plugin ID 216345

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 41 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-66ebd291f8 advisory.


 Changes with nginx 1.26.3 05 Feb 2025

 *) Security: insufficient check in virtual servers handling with TLSv1.3 SNI allowed to reuse SSL sessions in a different virtual server, to bypass client SSL certificates verification (CVE-2025-23419).

 *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_mp4_module.
 Thanks to Nils Bars.

 *) Workaround: gzip filter failed to use preallocated memory alerts appeared in logs when using zlib-ng.

 *) Bugfix: nginx could not build libatomic library using the library sources if the --with-libatomic=DIR option was used.

 *) Bugfix: nginx now ignores QUIC version negotiation packets from clients.

 *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on Solaris 10 and earlier with the ngx_http_v3_module.

 *) Bugfixes in HTTP/3.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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

Update the affected packages.
