The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2021:2259 advisory.
nginx is a web and proxy server supporting HTTP and other protocols, with a focus on high concurrency, performance, and low memory usage.
Security Fix(es):
* nginx: Off-by-one in ngx_resolver_copy() when labels are followed by a pointer to a root domain name (CVE-2021-23017)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
