CVE-2024-24990
When NGINX Plus or NGINX OSS are configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module, undisclosed requests can cause NGINX worker processes to terminate.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
