Notes


mdeslaur

nginx fixed this by releasing 1.29.8 with a max_headers directive with a default of 1000. They did not mention this release on their security page, and did not assign an nginx specific CVE to this issue. The nginx fix for this issue breaks ABI and introduced a regression causing nginx to crash when being used with external modules. The CVE fix was reverted in 8398-2 pending further investigation.
