CVE-2026-91768

IPv6 ACL bypass in FastCGI listen.allowed_clients due to partial address comparison (memcmp 12 bytes)

Published Sep 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The IPv6 branch of the FastCGI client access check compares only the first 12 bytes of a 16-byte IPv6 address, so listen.allowed_clients matches on a /96 prefix instead of the exact address. An attacker who can source an address sharing the first 96 bits with an allowed one passes the check and reaches the FastCGI endpoint.
