Summary

CVE-2024-34161 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting NGINX Plus and Open Source (NGINX OSS) when using the HTTP/3 QUIC module. If the network infrastructure supports a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of 4096 bytes or greater without fragmentation, undisclosed QUIC packets can trigger NGINX worker processes to leak previously freed memory, potentially leading to denial-of-service (DoS) conditions or other unintended consequences. This issue is significant as HTTP/3 adoption continues to grow, making it essential for organizations using NGINX web servers to update and patch their systems to mitigate this risk.
