Nginx Security Vulnerability: SSL Man in the Middle Attack

By Michael Mullany | November 10th, 2009 at 10:11AM

A security vulnerability in all versions of nginx (as well as several other web servers) has been reported. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by intercepting SSL sessions and compromising encryption key renegotiation via a plaintext injection, allowing the attacker to read the plaintext of the SSL session. A patch has been released for this vulnerability.

Engine Yard customers have already been contacted via email about this issue. For Engine Yard Cloud customers, this patch will be automatically applied the next time you perform a deploy. All other customers should open a support ticket so that you can arrange an appropriate maintenance window with support.
