ALAS2023-2026-1436


Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS2023-2026-1436
Advisory Released Date: 2026-02-18
Advisory Updated Date: 2026-02-18
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

A vulnerability exists in NGINX OSS and NGINX Plus when configured to proxy to upstream Transport Layer Security (TLS) servers. An attacker with a man-in-the-middle (MITM) position on the upstream server side--along with conditions beyond the attacker's control--may be able to inject plain text data into the response from an upstream proxied server. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2026-1642)


Affected Packages:

nginx


Issue Correction:
Run dnf update nginx --releasever 2023.10.20260216 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1436 --releasever 2023.10.20260216 to update your system.
