How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest nginx to version 1.26.3-3+deb13u7+e1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nginx package and not the nginx package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_ssi_module module. This vulnerability may exist when the Server-Side Includes (SSI), proxy_pass, and proxy_buffering off directives are configured. With this configuration, an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream server may be able to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process. This issue may lead to limited modification of memory or a restart of the NGINX worker process.

Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to have limited control to modify memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.

Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
