Also, one should not depend on the version of nginx that ships with any particular distro...auch as ubuntu and all cuz generally, they are not the latest versions...best is to simply grab nginx or any package directly from their own repo which will ensure that one always gets the latest version....but again that's a double edged sword....

Major distros like Ubuntu backport security fixes to the stable version.
