fixed 1.6.2-3
thanks

Confirmed: This was done already.  The commit this was done in was
this one: 
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/nginx.git/commit/?id=9a4e0f0a698bee2b03b7f417ad9286e5eb22141e

1.6.2-3, which had this fix already, was uploaded and accepted to
Unstable on 2014-10-16, according to the package tracker
(https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nginx.html)  This is confirmed in
the 1.6.2-4 changelog in Unstable
(http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/nginx/unstable_changelog).

Dissection of the package 1.6.2-4 also shows that the default SSL
stanza has an ssl_protocols line of `ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1
TLSv1.2`.  Coupled with the OpenSSL updates made by the Debian
security team to support TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV to prevent the protocol
downgrade attack from TLSv1 to SSLv3, POODLE is effectively mitigated
with the now-default config stanzas for SSL.  (This assumes also that
a user is using the default SSL config sections.  A large portion of
(albeit newer) users do use the default config stanzas, or at least
use it as a base, and it can be argued that competent administrators
will already disable the vulnerable protocols in their own site
configs separately.)
