Description

When NGINX Open Source is configured to proxy HTTP/2 traffic by setting proxy_http_version to 2, and also uses proxy_set_body, an attacker may be able to inject frame headers and payload bytes to the upstream peer.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

1.3.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.6.22.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.6.0
3.5.0 ≤ v ≤ 3.7.24.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 4.0.15.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.4.2
2.16.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.22.0
1.29.4 ≤ v ≤ 1.30.01.29.4
Affected range stops below 1.30.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Vendor states this is fixed in 1.31.0 (unaffected)
