Alpine: nginx: security update to 1.30.4-r0
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444867
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- A vulnerability exists in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source when a map directive uses regex matching and a
string expression references the map's regex capture variables before referencing the map output variable.
Alternatively, the same result could be achieved by using a non-cacheable variable in a string expression
under certain conditions. An unauthenticated attacker along with conditions beyond their control can
exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may cause a heap buffer overflow in the
NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, attackers can execute code on systems with
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR. Impact: This
vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the NGINX system or to
possibly trigger a code execution. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
(CVE-2026-42533)
- NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_ssi_module module. This
vulnerability may exist when the Server-Side Includes (SSI), proxy_pass, and proxy_buffering off
directives are configured. With this configuration, an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle
(MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream server may be able to cause a use-after-free in the
NGINX worker process. This issue may lead to limited modification of memory or a restart of the NGINX
worker process. Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to have limited control to modify
memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data
plane issue only. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not
evaluated. (CVE-2026-56434)
- NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_slice_module module. When the slice
directive and unnamed regex captures are configured or when a background cache update happens,
unauthenticated attackers can send requests that may cause uninitialized memory access in the NGINX worker
process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart. Impact: This vulnerability may allow
remote, unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to disclose memory contents or restart the NGINX
worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only. Note: The
ngx_http_slice_module module is not enabled by default; it's enabled with the --with-http_slice_module
configuration parameter. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are
not evaluated. (CVE-2026-60005)
Solution
Update the nginx library and its related packages to version 1.30.4-r0 or later.See Also
