Memory Corruption in 32-bit NGINX ngx_http_mp4_module

Publication date: 2026-03-24

Last updated on: 2026-03-30

Assigner: F5 Networks

Description
The 32-bit implementation of NGINX Open Source has a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module module, which might allow an attacker to over-read or over-write NGINX worker memory resulting in its termination, using a specially crafted MP4 file. The issue only affects 32-bit NGINX Open Source 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.

CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the 32-bit version of NGINX Open Source when it is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module module and the mp4 directive is used in the configuration. An attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted MP4 file that causes the module to over-read or over-write the memory used by an NGINX worker process. This memory corruption can lead to the termination of the worker process.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that an attacker with the ability to trigger processing of a malicious MP4 file can cause an NGINX worker process to crash. This can lead to denial of service by terminating worker processes, potentially disrupting the availability of the web server or service relying on NGINX.
