Package : nginx
Vulnerability : sensitive information leak
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-1180
Debian Bug : 664137
Matthew Daley discovered a memory disclosure vulnerability in nginx. In
previous versions of this web server, an attacker can receive the content of
previously freed memory if an upstream server returned a specially crafted HTTP
response, potentially exposing sensitive information.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.7.67-3+squeeze2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.17-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your nginx packages.
