    CVE-2014-3616

    Published: 8 Dec 2014Last Modified: 16 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: nginx 0.5.6 through 1.7.4, when using the same shared ssl_session_cache or ssl_session_ticket_key for multiple servers, can reuse a cached SSL session for an unrelated context, which allows remote attackers with certain privileges to conduct "virtual host confusion" attacks.
