"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1790332938 advisory.
- NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_proxy_v2_module and
ngx_http_grpc_module modules. This vulnerability exists when the proxy_http_version to 2 or grpc_pass
directives are used to proxy HTTP/2 traffic, the ignore_invalid_headers directive is set to off, and the
large_client_header_buffers directive size is larger than 2 megabytes. A remote, unauthenticated attacker,
along with conditions beyond their control, could send large headers while creating an upstream request.
This may cause a heap-based buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart.
Additionally, attackers can execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)
disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical
Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2026-42055)
- A vulnerability exists in the ngx_http_scgi_module and ngx_http_uwsgi_module modules that may result in
excessive memory allocation or an over-read of data. When scgi_pass or uwsgi_pass is configured, an
unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream
server may be able to read the memory of the NGINX worker process or restart it. Note: Software versions
which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2026-42946)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
