Description:
A security issue has been discovered in nginx, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to nginx not properly verifying the path for the WebDAV "MOVE" and "COPY" methods, which can be exploited to e.g. write to files outside the specified document root.
Successful exploitation requires that the server has been compiled with the http_dav_module and that the attacker is allowed to use the "MOVE" or "COPY" methods.
The security issue is reported in version 0.7.61 and confirmed in version 0.7.62. Other versions may also be affected.
