Hello!

Recently a report appeared alleging an integer overflow  
vulnerability in nginx, claiming remote code execution impact.  
We’ve carefully investigated the issue, and cannot confirm the  
alleged vulnerability exists.

Taking this opportunity to remind: if you think you’ve found  
a security issue in nginx - it’s a good idea to report it to  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid, as listed at the nginx security  
advisories page here:
