NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module. When charset, source_charset, and charset_map and proxy_pass with disabled buffering ("off") directives are configured, unauthenticated attackers can send requests that with conditions beyond the attackers' control to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer over-read in NGINX's ngx_http_charset_module allows unauthenticated remote attackers to leak sensitive memory or crash worker processes when specific configuration directives (charset, source_charset, charset_map, and proxy_pass with buffering disabled) are combined. The vulnerability requires attacker-controlled conditions that depend on factors outside the attacker's control, limiting exploitability but creating real risk for affected deployments. …
