Out-of-Bounds Read in nginx-gateway (CVE-2026-32647)
Summary
Vulnerability in nginx-gateway (CVE-2026-32647). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.28.3, 1.29.7 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module module, which might allow an attacker to trigger a buffer over-read or over-write to the NGINX worker memory resulting in its termination or possibly code execution, using a specially crafted MP4 file. This issue affects NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus if it is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module module and the mp4 directive is used in the configuration file. Additionally, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger the processing of a specially crafted MP4 file with the ngx_http_mp4_module module.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
