Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in nginx, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========
nginx is a robust, small, and high performance HTTP and reverse proxy
server.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-servers/nginx < 1.4.1-r2 >= 1.4.1-r2

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in nginx. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process, or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a
context-dependent attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All nginx users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/nginx-1.4.1-r2"
