3. Description:
Nginx is a web and proxy server with a focus on high concurrency,
performance, and low memory usage.
The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
rh-nginx18-nginx (1.8.1).
Security Fix(es):
* A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the nginx code responsible
for saving client request body to a temporary file. A remote attacker could
send a specially crafted request that would cause nginx worker process to
crash. (CVE-2016-4450)
* It was discovered that nginx could perform an out of bound read and
dereference an invalid pointer when resolving CNAME DNS records. An
attacker able to manipulate DNS responses received by nginx could use this
flaw to cause a worker process to crash if nginx enabled the resolver in
its configuration. (CVE-2016-0742)
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way nginx resolved certain CNAME
DNS records. An attacker able to manipulate DNS responses received by nginx
could use this flaw to cause a worker process to crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code if nginx enabled the resolver in its configuration.
(CVE-2016-0746)
* It was discovered that nginx did not limit recursion when resolving CNAME
DNS records. An attacker able to manipulate DNS responses received by nginx
could use this flaw to cause a worker process to use an excessive amount of
resources if nginx enabled the resolver in its configuration.
(CVE-2016-0747)
