    *) Security: memory corruption might occur in a worker process on 32-bit
       platforms while handling a specially crafted request by
       ngx_http_spdy_module, potentially resulting in arbitrary code
       execution (CVE-2014-0088); the bug had appeared in 1.5.10.
       Thanks to Lucas Molas, researcher at Programa STIC, Fundación Dr.
