Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_ssl_module module when the
 ssl_verify_client directive is set to "on" or "optional," and the ssl_ocsp directive is set to "on" or the
 leaf parameters are configured with a resolver. With this configuration, an unauthenticated attacker can
 send requests along with conditions beyond its control that may cause a heap-use-after-free error in the
 NGINX worker process. This vulnerability may result in limited modification of data or the NGINX worker
 process restarting. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not
 evaluated. (CVE-2026-40701)
