Description

A flaw was found in the nginx HTTP/3 implementation. This issue may allow an attacker using a specially crafted QUIC session to trigger a NULL pointer dereference error, causing worker processes to crash and lead to a denial of service.

Statement

As this flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, it has been rated with an important severity.

The nginx package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9 and RHSCL is not affected by this vulnerability because the support for HTTP/3 is not enabled and the vulnerable code was introduced in a later version of nginx.
