EUVDB-ID: #VU96020
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7347
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ngx_http_mp4_module when reading mp4 files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the web server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the server is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module and the "mp4" directive is used in the configuration file.
Update the affected package nginx to the latest version.
