Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in versions 1.3.9 to 1.4.0 of nginx.
The exploit first triggers an integer overflow in the ngx_http_parse_chunked() by
supplying an overly long hex value as chunked block size. This value is later used
when determining the number of bytes to read into a stack buffer, thus the overflow
becomes possible.
