This is related to LP #783508.

After more investigation, I've concluded that the issue identified in
#783508 affects nginx 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 < 0.7.66, and 0.8 < 0.8.38. The
nginx packages in hardy and hardy-backports are based off of the 0.5 and
0.6 branches of nginx (respectively) which means they're vulnerable.
I've reported this issue upstream as well as to Red Hat (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717078).

I attempted to build a debdiff for the 0.5 branch by applying the
relevant changeset from the nginx SVN repository. However, the changeset
patch does not apply properly given the differences between the 0.5 and
0.7 branches of nginx. I am not confident in my ability to provide a
patch for this issue without potentially breaking the application.

** Affects: nginx (Ubuntu)
