+ A buffer underflow vulnerability in the request URI processing of nginx
+ might enable remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chris Ries reported a heap-based buffer underflow in the
+ ngx_http_parse_complex_uri() function in http/ngx_http_parse.c when
+ parsing the request URI.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker might send a specially crafted request URI to a nginx
+ server, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
+ with the privileges of the user running the server, or a Denial of
+ Service. NOTE: By default, nginx runs as the "nginx" user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All nginx 0.5.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-0.5.38"</code>
+ <p>
+ All nginx 0.6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-0.6.39"</code>
+ <p>
+ All nginx 0.7.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-0.7.62"</code>
