- nginx - small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server
Details
USN-7014-1 fixed a vulnerability in nginx. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that the nginx ngx_http_mp4 module incorrectly handled
certain malformed mp4 files. In environments where the mp4 directive is in
use, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to
crash, resulting in a denial of service.
