4Description
NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_dav_module module that might allow an attacker to trigger a buffer overflow to the NGINX worker process; this vulnerability may result in termination of the NGINX worker process or modification of source or destination file names outside the document root. This issue affects NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus when the configuration file uses DAV module MOVE or COPY methods, prefix location (nonregular expression location configuration), and alias directives. The integrity impact is constrained because the NGINX worker process user has low privileges and does not have access to the entire system. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Analysis
Buffer overflow in NGINX's DAV module allows remote attackers to crash worker processes or manipulate file names outside the document root when MOVE/COPY methods are combined with prefix location and alias directives. The vulnerability affects NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus installations using vulnerable configurations, though the low-privilege worker process context limits the scope of file manipulation. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Conduct asset inventory to identify all NGINX deployments using DAV modules with prefix locations and alias directives; document exposure scope. Within 7 days: Implement compensating controls (disable DAV methods if not business-critical, apply WAF rules blocking malformed MOVE/COPY requests, isolate affected servers). …
