    Hello!


    A security issue in nginx resolver was identified, which might allow an
    attacker to cause 1-byte memory overwrite by using a specially crafted
    DNS response, resulting in worker process crash or, potentially, in
    arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-23017).

    The issue only affects nginx if the "resolver" directive is used in
    the configuration file. Further, the attack is only possible if an
    attacker is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server.

    The issue affects nginx 0.6.18 - 1.20.0.
    The issue is fixed in nginx 1.21.0, 1.20.1.

    Patch for the issue can be found here:
