CVE-2023-44487  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter to version 1:1.22.1-1.module+el8.8.0+20355+6d9c8a63.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter package and not the nginx-mod-http-xslt-filter package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
