TencentOS Server 3: nginx:1.24 (TSSA-2026:0618)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 328396

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0618 advisory.

 Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

 CVE-2026-42055:
 NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_proxy_v2_moduleand ngx_http_grpc_modulemodules. This vulnerability exists when the proxy_http_version to 2or grpc_passdirectives are used to proxy HTTP/2 traffic, the ignore_invalid_headersdirective is set to off, and the large_client_header_buffersdirective size is larger than 2 megabytes. A remote, unauthenticated attacker, along with conditions beyond their control, could send large headers while creating an upstream request. This may cause a heap-based 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.


 Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
