43 |
Mattias Bengtsson and Philip Olausson have discovered a buffer overflow |
44 |
vulnerability in the function fcgi_env_add() in the file mod_fastcgi.c |
45 |
when processing overly long HTTP headers. |
46 |

<impact type="high"> |
49 |
<p> |
50 |
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the |
51 |
vulnerable Lighttpd server, resulting in the remote execution of |
52 |
arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the web server. Note |
53 |
that mod_fastcgi is disabled in Gentoo's default configuration. |
54 |
</p> |
55 |
</impact> |
56 |
<workaround> |
57 |
<p> |
58 |
Edit the file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and comment the following |
59 |
line: "include mod_fastcgi.conf" |
60 |
</p> |
61 |
</workaround> |
62 |
<resolution> |
63 |
<p> |
64 |
All Lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
</p> |
66 |
<code> |
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.18"</code> |
