DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in nginx, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the
ngx_http_mp4_module module when parsing certain atoms and can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted MP4 file
placed on the server.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code but
requires that ngx_http_mp4_module module is enabled and the "mp4"
directive is configured.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.1.3 through 1.1.18 and
1.0.7 through 1.0.14.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.19 or 1.0.15.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Matthew Daley.
