Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for nginx.

CVE-2026-42055[0]:
| NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the
| ngx_http_proxy_v2_module and ngx_http_grpc_module modules. This
| vulnerability exists when the proxy_http_version to 2 or
| grpc_pass directives are used to proxy HTTP/2 traffic, the
| ignore_invalid_headers directive is set to off, and the
| large_client_header_buffers directive size is larger than 2
| megabytes. A remote, unauthenticated attacker, along with conditions
| beyond their control, could send large headers while creating an
| upstream request. This may cause a heap-based buffer overflow in the
| NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, attackers
| can execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization
| (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR.    Note:
| Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS)
| are not evaluated.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
