Dawid Golunski reported the nginx web server packages in Debian suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the way log files are handled. This security update changes ownership of the /var/log/nginx directory root. In addition, /var/log/nginx has to be made accessible to local users, and local users may be able to read the log files themselves local until the next logrotate invocation.
