# Tested on: Ubuntu Server 10.04.1

# Description
In vulnerable versions of nginx, null bytes are allowed in URIs by default (their presence is indicated via a variable named zero_in_uri defined in ngx_http_request.h). Individual modules have the ability to opt-out of handling URIs with null bytes. However, not all of them do; in particular, the FastCGI module does not.

# Proof of Concept:
http://<server>/<path>/file.ext%00.php
or
http://<server>/<path>/file.ext/x00.php
