Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2011-08-02 17:25:23 UTC 
Any possibility of nginx being updated in the near future?  This has the potential of being very problematic for people who use nginx.  Thanks.
Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2011-08-02 17:26:18 UTC 
Further details on this flaw will be published later this month, so it would also be ideal to have this corrected before then.
Comment 3 Jeremy Hinegardner 2011-08-02 20:57:00 UTC 
Yes, I should be able to get this taken care of early next week. Thanks for the prod.
Comment 4 Vincent Danen 2011-08-03 05:14:53 UTC 
Fantastic.  Thank you!

FYI, the details were published at https://nealpoole.com/blog/2011/08/possible-arbitrary-code-execution-with-null-bytes-php-and-old-versions-of-nginx/

Chinese hackers appear to be particularly interested in this vulnerability. I would recommend trying to release a patched version ASAP.
Comment 6 Jeremy Hinegardner 2012-02-20 01:32:51 UTC 
This was pushed to stable back in September.

Should we close this ?
