CVE-2026-42945

The nginx package before 1.6.2-5+deb8u3 on Debian jessie and earlier versions on Ubuntu and Gentoo allow local users with access to the web server user account to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the error log.

In nginx before 1.10.1 and 1.11.x before 1.11.1, a vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted request, involving writing a client request body to a temporary file.

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 via an invalid pointer dereference, leading to a worker process crash.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the SPDY implementation in nginx 1.3.15 before 1.4.7 and 1.5.x before 1.5.12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request.

nginx 0.7.64 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters. A remote attacker could send an HTTP request containing a terminal escape sequence, potentially modifying a window's title, executing arbitrary commands, or overwriting files.

Heap-based buffer overflow in NGINX ngx_http_proxy_v2_module and ngx_http_grpc_module. Specific configuration conditions and large headers can cause NGINX worker process crash, and in some cases allow code execution.

A vulnerability in the ngx_http_rewrite_module of NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source occurs when a rewrite directive uses a regex pattern with overlapping PCRE captures and a replacement string referencing multiple captures. An unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests, causing a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process, leading to a restart.

A vulnerability in the NGINX ngx_http_dav_module allows an attacker to trigger a buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process. The issue occurs when the configuration uses MOVE or COPY methods with alias directives and prefix locations.

A use-after-free vulnerability in the resolver in nginx versions 0.6.18 through 1.8.0 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DNS response related to CNAME response processing.

NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source configured with ssl_session_cache shared:name:size without explicit ssl_session_ticket_key directives to automatically rotate SSL session ticket keys allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to forge client SSL sessions in a non-deterministic manner. An attacker could leverage this to bypass verification of client certificates.
