Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201707-12 ========================================== Severity: High Date : 2017-07-12 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-7529 Package : nginx-mainline Type : information disclosure Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-346 Summary ======= The package nginx-mainline before version 1.13.3-1 is vulnerable to information disclosure. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1.13.3-1. # pacman -Syu "nginx-mainline>=1.13.3-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.13.3. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== A security issue was identified in the range filter module of nginx < 1.13.3. A specially crafted request might result in an integer overflow and incorrect processing of ranges, potentially resulting in sensitive information leak. When using nginx with standard modules this allows an attacker to obtain a cache file header if a response was returned from cache. In some configurations a cache file header may contain IP address of the backend server or other sensitive information. Besides, with 3rd party modules it is potentially possible that the issue may lead to a denial of service or a disclosure of a worker process memory. No such modules are currently known though. Impact ====== A remote attacker can access sensitive information by sending a specially crafted request.
