Summary

IBM Aspera Shares has addressed the following NGINX vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2019-7401 DESCRIPTION: NGINX Unit is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the router process. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the router process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/156770&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-16843 DESCRIPTION: nginx is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when complied with ngx_http_v2_module. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP/2 request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive memory consumption.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152679&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-16845 DESCRIPTION: nginx is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when compiled with the ngx_http_mp4_module. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted mp4 file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop or obtain sensitive information from worker process memory.
CVSS Base Score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152681&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVEID: CVE-2019-13617 DESCRIPTION: njs, used in NGINX, is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in nxt_vsprintf in nxt/nxt_sprintf.c during error handling. By persuading a victim to run a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/163760&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2019-12208 DESCRIPTION: NGINX njs is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the njs_function_native_call function in njs/njs_function.c. By sending overly long data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 9.8
