server.

<description>
<p>It was discovered that nginx did not properly handle DNS responses when
“resolver” directive is used.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>A remote attacker, able to provide DNS responses to a nginx instance,
could cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process or a Denial of Service condition.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All nginx users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/nginx-1.20.1"
</code>
<p>All nginx mainline users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
"&gt;=www-servers/nginx-1.21.0:mainline"
</code>
