Debian DLA-55-1 : nginx security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82201

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Antoine Delignat-Lavaud discovered that it was possible to reuse SSL sessions in unrelated contexts if a shared SSL session cache or the same TLS session ticket key was used for multiple 'server' blocks.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected nginx, and nginx-dbg packages.
