Description:	Summary: nginx is prone to multiple denial of service vulnerabilities. Vulnerability Insight: Multiple flaws exist: - An invalid pointer dereference might occur during DNS server response processing. - The use-after-free condition might occur during CNAME response processing. - The CNAME resolution was insufficiently limited. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to trigger arbitrary name resolution to cause excessive resource consumption in worker processes, to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to cause worker process crash. Affected Software/OS: nginx versions from 0.6.18 to 1.9.9. Note: 1.8.1 is not vulnerable. Solution: Update to nginx version 1.9.10 or 1.8.1 or later.
