Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALASNGINX1-2023-001
Advisory Release Date: 2023-08-07 06:17 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-09-25 22:09 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

NGINX Open Source before versions 1.23.2 and 1.22.1, NGINX Open Source Subscription before versions R2 P1 and R1 P1, and NGINX Plus before versions R27 P1 and R26 P1 have a vulnerability in the module ngx_http_mp4_module that might allow a local attacker to corrupt NGINX worker memory, resulting in its termination or potential other impact using a specially crafted audio or video file. The issue affects only NGINX products that are built with the ngx_http_mp4_module, when the mp4 directive is used in the configuration file. Further, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger processing of a specially crafted audio or video file with the module ngx_http_mp4_module. (CVE-2022-41741)
