DescriptionNVD

When NGINX Open Source is configured to proxy HTTP/2 traffic by setting proxy_http_version to 2, and also uses proxy_set_body, an attacker may be able to inject frame headers and payload bytes to the upstream peer.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
