Description:
A vulnerability was reported in nginx. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions on the target system. A remote user can obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system. A remote user can create a specially crafted ngx_http_mp4_module that when processed by the target system, will cause the target system to crash or cause process memory disclosure based on the MP4 file. Nginx is only affected if it is built using the ngx_http_mp4 (i.e., not the default) and if the "mp4" directive is used in the configuration file. | ||
