medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435829

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, undisclosed HTTP/3 requests can
cause NGINX worker processes to terminate or cause other potential impact. This attack requires that a
request be specifically timed during the connection draining process, which the attacker has no visibility
and limited influence over. (CVE-2024-31079)

- When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, undisclosed HTTP/3 encoder
instructions can cause NGINX worker processes to terminate or cause or other potential impact.
(CVE-2024-32760)

- When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module and the network infrastructure
supports a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of 4096 or greater without fragmentation, undisclosed QUIC
packets can cause NGINX worker processes to leak previously freed memory. (CVE-2024-34161)

- When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, undisclosed HTTP/3 requests can
cause NGINX worker processes to terminate. (CVE-2024-35200)
