Summary
nginx vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled large headers when proxying HTTP/2 traffic. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-42055)

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled character set conversion under certain circumstances. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-48142)
