Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in compression-pointer processing in core/ngx_resolver.c in nginx before 1.0.10 allows remote resolvers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long response.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

0.6.18 ≤ v < 1.0.101.1.0 ≤ v ≤ 1.1.7
Affected range stops below 1.0.10, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
