nginx vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

nginx could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:
- nginx: small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server

Details:

USN-7014-1 fixed a vulnerability in nginx. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

  It was discovered that the nginx ngx_http_mp4 module incorrectly handled
  certain malformed mp4 files. In environments where the mp4 directive is in
  use, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to
  crash, resulting in a denial of service.
