Hello!

Matthew Daley recently discovered a security problem which may
lead to a disclosure of previously freed memory on specially
crafted response from an upstream server, potentially resulting in
sensitive information leak.

Patch for the problem can be found here:

http://nginx.org/download/patch.2012.memory.txt

The patch is not required for 1.1.17, 1.0.14.
