CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe ngx_http_slice_module in Nginx Plus and Nginx Open Source is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote attacks that can exploit uninitialized memory access, potentially leading to limited disclosure of memory contents or causing the NGINX worker process to restart. This issue arises when the slice directive is configured with unnamed regex captures or during background cache updates. Organizations using Nginx with this module enabled should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of memory disclosure and service disruption.
Original NVD Description
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_slice_module module. When the slice directive and unnamed regex captures are configured or when a background cache update happens, unauthenticated attackers can send requests that may cause uninitialized memory access in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart. Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to disclose memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only. Note: The ngx_http_slice_module module is not enabled by default; it's enabled with the --with-http_slice_module configuration parameter. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
