usn-8563-3
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu
USN-8563-1 fixed vulnerabilities in nginx. The fix for CVE-2026-42533 was backed out in USN-8563-2 because it could cause a regression. This update includes a better fix for CVE-2026-42533.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled certain map directives using regex matching and capture variables. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-42533)
It was discovered that nginx had a use-after-free vulnerability in the ngx_http_ssi_module module when configured with Server-Side Includes, proxy_pass, and proxy buffering disabled directives. An attacker able to intercept traffic and control responses from an upstream server could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-56434)
It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled certain requests in the ngx_http_slice_module module. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-60005)
