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.

When NGINX Plus or NGINX Open Source are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, an attacker may be able to spoof their source IP address allowing for bypass of authorization or bypass of rate limiting.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
