Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The ngxhttpparsechunked function in http/ngxhttpparse.c in nginx 1.3.9 through 1.4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a chunked Transfer-Encoding request with a large chunk size, which triggers an integer signedness error and a stack-based buffer overflow.
