The remote host is missing an update for the 'nginx' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A flaw in the custom DNS resolver of nginx could lead to a heap based buffer overflow which could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or to cause a Denial of Service. Please install the updated package(s)
