Descriptions

NGINX before 1.13.6 has a buffer overflow for years that exceed four digits, as demonstrated by a file with a modification date in 1969 that causes an integer overflow (or a false modification date far in the future), when encountered by the autoindex module.

NGINX versiones anteriores a 1.13.6, presenta un desbordamiento de búfer para los años que superan los cuatro dígitos, como es demostrado por un archivo con una fecha de modificación en 1969 que causa un desbordamiento de enteros (o una falsa fecha de modificación en el futuro), cuando es encontrado por el módulo autoindex

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled files with certain modification dates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.
