How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:9 nginx to version 1:1.22.1-3.0.1.module+el9.2.0+90031+da4273d7.1 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 Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 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.
