os/unix/ngx_files.c in nginx before 1.10.1 and 1.11.x before 1.11.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted request, involving writing a client request body to a temporary file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-4450 is a remote denial-of-service issue in older nginx versions. A crafted request can make an nginx worker process crash when a client request body is written to a temporary file. The evidence points to service availability impact, not data theft or code execution. Internet-facing nginx deployments are the primary concern if they run versions before 1.10.1, or 1.11.x before 1.11.1. Exposure is most relevant for services that accept request bodies and may write them to temporary files. Treat this as a timely availability fix for any remaining legacy nginx systems. It is not supported as a data-breach or code-execution emergency by the supplied evidence, but public-facing reverse proxies should be patched promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade nginx to 1.10.1 or later stable release.; Upgrade 1.11.x deployments to 1.11.1 or later.; Apply fixed packages from your Linux distribution vendor..
