Description Vincent Danen 2014-03-04 13:23:32 EST

The following security flaw in nginx was reported [1]:

A bug in the experimental SPDY implementation in nginx 1.5.10 was found, which might allow an attacker to corrupt worker process memory by using a specially crafted request, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0088).

The problem only affects nginx 1.5.10 on 32-bit platforms, compiled with the ngx_http_spdy_module module (which is not compiled by default), if the "spdy" option of the "listen" directive is used in a configuration file.

No Red Hat products, including Fedora and EPEL, ship this vulnerable version of nginx.
