3Description
NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module, which might allow an attacker to trigger a buffer over-read or over-write to the NGINX worker memory resulting in its termination or possibly code execution, using a specially crafted mp4 file. This issue affects NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus if it is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module and the mp4 directive is used in the configuration file. Additionally, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger the processing of a specially crafted mp4 file with the ngx_http_mp4_module. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Analysis
NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus contain a buffer over-read or over-write vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module that can lead to NGINX worker process termination or potentially remote code execution. An attacker with local access and the ability to supply a specially crafted MP4 file for processing can exploit this flaw when the mp4 directive is enabled in the configuration. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all NGINX instances and identify systems with mp4_module enabled in configuration files; assess which systems have untrusted user file upload capabilities. Within 7 days: Disable the mp4 directive in NGINX configurations if not business-critical, or implement strict file upload controls and local access restrictions; validate changes across staging environments. …
