NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nginx:1.24/nginx-filesystem package and not the nginx:1.24/nginx-filesystem package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

When the ngx_mail_auth_http_module module is enabled on NGINX Plus or NGINX Open Source, undisclosed requests can cause worker processes to terminate. This issue may occur when (1) CRAM-MD5 or APOP authentication is enabled, and (2) the authentication server permits retry by returning the Auth-Wait response header. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
