The flaw was documented in public years ago and marked as something to fix, and the danger went unrecognised until a researcher looked again last week.</p> <p>nginx is the piece of software sitting in front of a large slice of the internet. When you open a site, there is a good chance nginx is the first thing that reads your request, deals with the encryption, decides where the request should go, and passes it to whatever runs the site behind it.</p>
