Shoot, no patch for the 1.2.x series? That's disappointing. It's not that old, is it? I feel like I upgraded to 1.2.x, which was then the newest stable branch, just over a year ago.

It's _that_ old.

As I know, 1.2.x actually is obsoleted since May 2013, and there is no more support or bugfixes after this date.

Unfortunately, Debian's stable version is 1.2.1.
Just use third party APT packages.

You can either use the Phusion Passenger one: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/install_debian

Or the Nginx.org one: http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html

Both support Debian 6 and 7, and both supply the latest Nginx stable version.

Debian does commit to security support for packages in main, i expect they will backport the patch to their current version and send notification from security-announce when an update is released. Also keep an eye on https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2013-4547
Ironically I'm getting an SSL error from them and it forces you to use https.
Last time it took them six months to do so.
There is a patch for older versions: http://nginx.org/download/patch.2013.space.txt And nginx -V will show you how to rebuild it manually.
