Synopsis
The web server on the remote host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.Description
The remote web server is running nginx, a lightweight, high performance web server / reverse proxy and email (IMAP/POP3) proxy.According to its Server response header, the installed version of nginx is between 1.0.7 and 1.0.14 or 1.1.3 and 1.1.18 and is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.
An error in the module 'ngx_http_mp4_module' can allow a specially crafted mp4 file to cause a buffer overflow and can potentially allow arbitrary code execution.
Note that successful exploitation requires that the 'mp4' configuration option is enabled and the module 'ngx_http_mp4_module' is enabled. Nessus has not checked for either of these settings.
Solution
Upgrade to version 1.0.15 / 1.1.19 or later.See Also
