Will this version end up in one of the next EPEL 7 package releases? I'm curious because the nginx core is updated from 1.10 to 1.12. This might break some deployments due to some possible changes between 1.10 and 1.12. Is it common practice to update the package instead of backporting the security fix. The Debian project backported the mitigation [1]. Patch from the CentOS/RHEL software collections [2] and Debian project [3].
