Packages
- nginx - small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server
Details
Antoine Delignat-Lavaud and Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that nginx
incorrectly reused cached SSL sessions. An attacker could possibly use this
issue in certain configurations to obtain access to information from a
different virtual host.
