CVE-2011-4315 nginx: heap overflow in ngx_resolver_copy()
It was reported [1] that a heap overflow flaw in nginx's custom DNS resolver was corrected in upstream version 1.0.10 [2],[3]. This resolver is most commonly used with the proxy and fastcgi modules, which are not enabled by default. As well, a malicious user would need to be in control of an upstream resolver host, or be able to brute-force the weakly-generated 16-bit transaction identifier, to exploit the flaw.
