[Solved] Nginx security on Ubuntu Server

Post by floown » Thu Jun 02, 2016 6:30 pm

Hello,

I have receive this mail about a security bug for Ubuntu server:
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2991-1
June 02, 2016

nginx vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 15.10
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

nginx could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:
- nginx: small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server

Details:

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled saving client request
bodies to temporary files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
nginx-core 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
nginx-extras 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
nginx-full 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
nginx-light 1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

Ubuntu 15.10:
nginx-core 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.2
nginx-extras 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.2
nginx-full 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.2
nginx-light 1.9.3-1ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
nginx-core 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.5
nginx-extras 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.5
nginx-full 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.5
nginx-light 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.5

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Hey. Sorry think I misread.

You are on about package vesta-nginx 0.9.8-15? This is package provided by VestaCP.

You have the most up-to-date version of nginx nginx 1.10.1 (Stable) so none of your websites will be affected
