nginx regression

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its
derivatives:

Ubuntu 16.10
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary

USN-3114-1 introduced a regression in nginx packaging.

Software description

nginx
– small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server

Details

USN-3114-1 fixed a vulnerability in nginx. A packaging issue prevented
nginx from being reinstalled or upgraded to a subsequent release. This
update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

file permissions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain
root privileges.
