The SPDY implementation in the ngx_http_spdy_module module in nginx 1.5.10 before 1.5.11, when running on a 32-bit platform, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request.

According to the self-reported version in the server response header, the installed nginx version is 1.5.10. It is, therefore, affected by a memory corruption vulnerability.

A flaw exists with the SPDY module implementation, where worker process memory could be corrupted via a specially crafted request. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Note that the scanner has not tested for this issue or otherwise determined if a patch is applied but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The nginx project reports :

A bug in the experimental SPDY implementation in nginx 1.5.10 was found, which might allow an attacker to corrupt worker process memory by using a specially crafted request, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0088).

The problem only affects nginx 1.5.10 on 32-bit platforms, compiled with the ngx_http_spdy_module module (which is not compiled by default), if the 'spdy' option of the 'listen' directive is used in a configuration file.
