NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nginx-source package and not the nginx-source package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module. When charset, source_charset, and charset_map and proxy_pass with disabled buffering ("off") directives are configured, unauthenticated attackers can send requests that with conditions beyond the attackers' control to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart.

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