Hi,

Although the CVE page - 
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-1247 - shows this 
as fixed in Wheezy, It doesn't look as though the issue hasn't yet been 
addressed in the nginx-common deb


# dpkg-deb -R nginx-common_1.2.1-2.2+wheezy4_all.deb common

#!/bin/sh
set -e

case "$1" in
   configure)
     logdir="/var/log/nginx"
     # Ensure existance and right state of log files and directory
     if [ ! -d "$logdir" -a ! -L "$logdir" ]; then
       mkdir "$logdir"
       chown www-data:adm $logdir
       chmod 0750 $logdir
     fi
     # For systemd, enable the nginx unit, but don't start it (just like the
     # init script).
     if [ -x /bin/systemctl ]; then
       systemctl enable nginx.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
     fi
     ;;

   abort-upgrade|abort-remove|abort-deconfigure)
     ;;

   *)
     echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
     exit 1
     ;;
esac

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/nginx" ]; then
     update-rc.d nginx defaults >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section


exit 0


Is there a plan to apply a patch to wheezy at some point?

Thanks

Ben
