ETK-2026-3187Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
ngx_mruby stream handlers that use Nginx::Stream::Async.sleep can retain a timer after a session ends, causing a use-after-free. A remote client can crash a worker on affected UDP stream services; affected TCP services require a worker shutdown or configuration reload while the sleep is pending. The HTTP asynchronous sleep path is not affected.
mitigation
Upgrade ngx_mruby to version 2.7.3. Until upgraded, remove Nginx::Stream::Async.sleep calls from stream handlers.
fixed in 2.7.3
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
