Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

Update the affected package.
