| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in NGINX, specifically within the ngx_mail_auth_http_module. When this module is enabled, and CRAM-MD5 or APOP authentication is active with an authentication server that permits retries, undisclosed requests can cause NGINX worker processes to terminate. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the affected NGINX instance unavailable to legitimate users.
