Nginx 1.23.x < 1.23.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

Nginx 1.23.x < 1.23.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its Server response header, the installed version of nginx is prior to 1.22.1 or 1.23.x prior to 1.23.2. It is, therefore, affected by two security issues which might allow an attacker to cause a worker process crash or worker process memory disclosure by using a specially crafted mp4 file.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to nginx version 1.23.2 or later.
