Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1884-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'nginx' package(s) announced via the DSA-1884-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'nginx' package(s) announced via the DSA-1884-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Chris Ries discovered that nginx, a high-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy and IMAP/POP3 proxy server, is vulnerable to a buffer underflow when processing certain HTTP requests. An attacker can use this to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the worker process (www-data on Debian) or possibly perform denial of service attacks by repeatedly crashing worker processes via a specially crafted URL in an HTTP request. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.4.13-2+etch2. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.32-3+lenny2. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.7.61-3. We recommend that you upgrade your nginx packages. Affected Software/OS: 'nginx' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
