Description
A bug in the SPDY implementation in nginx was found which might cause a
heap memory buffer overflow in a worker process by using a specially
crafted request. The SPDY implementation is not enabled in default
configurations.
Impact

specially crafted request.
Workaround
Disable the spdy module in NGINX_MODULES_HTTP.
