NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-nginx18-nginx package and not the rh-nginx18-nginx package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted UDP DNS response.
