Synopsis

Description

Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong discovered a weakness in the TLS/SSL protocol when using compression. This side channel attack, dubbed'CRIME', allows eavesdroppers to gather information to recover the original plaintext in the protocol. This update to nginx disables SSL compression.

Solution

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.7.67-3+squeeze3.
