Description NGINX Gateway Fabric has a vulnerability when it is configured with Gateway
Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and have an authenticated gRPC connection with NGINX Agent. A namespaced
authenticated attacker with access to a service account may impersonate the authenticated NGINX Agent gRPC connection to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.
Impact A remote authenticated attacker may be able to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace.
There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Description NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngxhttpv3module module. When using HTTP/3 with
proxyrequestbuffering on directive, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to inject data in the proxied request.
Impact
This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to
inject data in the proxied request. 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.
iControl is affected by an insecure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy vulnerability, which could allow a malicious website to execute cross-origin requests with included credentials, enabling an attacker to access and exfiltrate sensitive data within the context of the victim's active session.
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngxhttpssimodule module. This vulnerability may exist when the Server-Side Includes (SSI), proxypass, and proxybuffering off directives are configured. With this configuration, an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream server may be able to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process. This issue may lead to limited modification of memory or a restart of the NGINX worker process.
Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to have limited control to modify memory contents or 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 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.
The NGINX Agent configdirs directive allows a low-privileged attacker to gain limited read and write access to files outside of the designated secure directory. The configdirs directive required for this issue can also be configured through NGINX Instance Manager. A successful exploit may allow an attacker to cross a security boundary.
Impact: A remotely authenticated low-privileged attacker could gain limited read and write access outside of the list of directories specified in the NGINX Agent configuration.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

When running in Appliance mode, a directory traversal vulnerability exists in an undisclosed iControl REST endpoint that may allow an authenticated attacker with administrator role privileges to cross a security boundary and delete files. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
An authenticated attacker's undisclosed requests to BIG-IP iControl REST can lead to an information leak of BIG-IP local user account names. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A vulnerability exists in iControl SOAP where an authenticated attacker with the Resource Administrator or Administrator role can download sensitive files. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When BIG-IP DNS is provisioned, a vulnerability exists in an undisclosed TMOS Shell (tmsh) command that may allow a highly privileged authenticated attacker to view sensitive information. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is configured in Static and Dynamic routing protocols, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to stop processing BFD packets and cause the configured routing protocol to fail over. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator that allows an authenticated attacker with high privilege to overwrite, delete or corrupt arbitrary local files. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When BIG-IP DNS is provisioned, a vulnerability exists in the gtmadd and bigipadd iControl REST commands that return the ssh-password parameter in cleartext in the iControl REST response and is also logged in the audit log. This may allow a highly privileged, authenticated attacker with access to the audit log to view sensitive information. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated
When configured, IP-based access restrictions for httpd do not cover all endpoints, which may allow connections from blocked addresses. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Sensitive information disclosure vulnerability exists in the undisclosed iControl REST endpoint and TMOS Shell (tmsh) command which may allow an authenticated attacker with resource administrator role privileges to view sensitive information. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the dashboard of the BIG-IP Configuration utility. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
NGINX ngxstreamsslmodule vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: don't ignore the return code of svcprocregister() Currently, nfsdprocstatinit() ignores the return value of svcprocregister(). If the procfile creation fails, then the kernel will WARN when it tries to remove the entry later. Fix nfsdprocstatinit() to return the same type of pointer as svcprocregister(), and fix up nfsdnetinit() to check that and fail the nfsdnet construction if it occurs. svcprocregister() can fail if the dentry can't be allocated, or if an identical dentry already exists. The second case is pretty unlikely in the nfsdnet construction codepath, so if this happens, return -ENOMEM.
Issue summary: An application trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password based encryption can trigger an out-of-bounds read and write. Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to Denial of Service for an application. The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have various consequences including a Denial of Service or Execution of attacker-supplied code. Although the consequences of a successful exploit of this vulnerability could be severe, the probability that the attacker would be able to perform it is low. Besides, password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS messages is very rarely used. For that reason the issue was assessed as Moderate severity according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
A flaw was found in python. An improperly handled HTTP response in the HTTP client code of python may allow a remote attacker, who controls the HTTP server, to make the client script enter an infinite loop, consuming CPU time. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
The processing time for parsing some invalid inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the input. This affects programs which parse untrusted PEM inputs.
Validating certificate chains which contain DSA public keys can cause programs to panic, due to a interface cast that assumes they implement the Equal method. This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.
The ParseAddress function constructs domain-literal address components through repeated string concatenation. When parsing large domain-literal components, this can cause excessive CPU consumption.
A vulnerability exists in F5 BIG-IP Container Ingress Services that may allow excessive permissions to read cluster secrets.
