Strange advisory

[Kurt Cancemi]

Hello,

This has not been fixed in current nginx releases, this is not
directly related to nginx either, the problem is outdated terminal
emulators would parse the potentially malicious commands in the log
file. This answer http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/15210 explains it
better.
