  <description>
    <p>A bug in the SPDY implementation in nginx was found which might cause a
      heap memory buffer overflow in a worker process by using a specially
      crafted request. The SPDY implementation is not enabled in default
      configurations.
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could cause execution of arbitrary code by using a
      specially crafted request.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>Disable the spdy module in NGINX_MODULES_HTTP. </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All nginx users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-1.4.7"
    </code>
