AI-suggested
Official fixes are available for this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to NGINX Open Source versions 1.30.1 or later, or NGINX Plus versions R32 P6, R35 P2, or R36 P4 and later. Applying these updates will remediate the heap buffer overflow and prevent exploitation. Since this is not a cloud service, manual patching by administrators is required. Check the vendor advisory at https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000160932 for detailed patching instructions and confirmation of fixed versions.
Discussion
This vulnerability concerns a critical heap buffer overflow (CVE-2026-42945) in NGINX's ngx_http_rewrite_module, which allows unauthenticated remote code execution via crafted rewrite and set directives. The flaw arises from a mismatch in buffer size calculation and copying due to inconsistent handling of the is_args flag, leading to heap overflow and potential corruption of adjacent memory structures. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus, with fixed versions available. Exploitation requires precise heap manipulation and is demonstrated on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. The exploit code may require adaptation to different OS versions due to changes in memory layout and offsets. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet.

hello guys ,
since im studying the binary Exploitation, i saw this CVE https://github.com/DepthFirstDisclosures/Nginx-Rift
its heap overflow and its affected multi versions; so to let it works we need for example to rewrite it to target specific os version right ?
for example :
current CVE works on ubunto 24. with version of ngix , so
if i want to target ngix on ubuntu 16 i still need to rewrite it again since offsets and other things changed as i understand from my journy in buffer overflows .
