      "value": "When NGINX Ingress Controller processes Ingress or TransportServer resources, an authenticated, remote attacker with permission to create or modify Ingress or TransportServer resources can cause the NGINX Ingress Controller process to terminate. \n\n\n\nImpact:\nThe NGINX Ingress Controller control plane process terminates and enters a persistent crash loop while the malformed Ingress or TransportServer resource remains in the cluster. This vulnerability allows a remote, authenticated attacker with at least Ingress or TransportServer resource write access to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the NGINX Ingress Controller system. There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only.\n\nNote: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated."

      "value": "Cuando NGINX Ingress Controller procesa recursos Ingress o TransportServer, un atacante remoto y autenticado con permiso para crear o modificar recursos Ingress o TransportServer puede provocar la terminación del proceso de NGINX Ingress Controller.\n\nImpacto:\nEl proceso del plano de control de NGINX Ingress Controller termina y entra en un bucle de fallos persistente mientras el recurso Ingress o TransportServer malformado permanece en el clúster. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a un atacante remoto y autenticado con al menos acceso de escritura a recursos Ingress o TransportServer causar una denegación de servicio (DoS) en el sistema NGINX Ingress Controller. No hay exposición del plano de datos; esto es solo un problema del plano de control.\n\nNota: Las versiones de software que han alcanzado el Fin del Soporte Técnico (EoTS) no se evalúan."
