Curated news, CVE analysis, and threat reports from the world's top cybersecurity sources.
F5 has disclosed a critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2026-42533) in NGINX, affecting deployments that use the map directive with specific regex variable references. The flaw allows remote attackers to send crafted HTTP requests that corrupt memory in the NGINX worker process, potentially causing service crashes or, in less secure environments, arbitrary code execution.
