NGINX ngxhttpcharsetmodule vulnerability
When NGINX Plus is configured to use the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) filter module (ngxstreammqttfiltermodule), unauthenticated attackers can send requests with conditions beyond the attacker's control to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to a restart.
Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

When NGINX Open Source is configured to proxy HTTP/2 traffic by setting proxyhttpversion to 2, and also uses proxysetbody, an attacker may be able to inject frame headers and payload bytes to the upstream peer. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
