NGINX may restart or have memory altered via upstream traffic

published 3 months ago
Summary

If you use NGINX with Server-Side Includes, proxy_pass and have proxy buffering turned off, an attacker who can intercept and change the responses from the upstream server could cause the NGINX worker process to crash or restart. This could let the attacker slightly modify what the server is handling, but it does not give access to your management interface. Update NGINX to a patched version or disable the risky configuration until the fix is applied.
