Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |

19 |
or a Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in lighttpd: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Qhy reported a memory leak in the http_request_parse() function in |
40 |
request.c (CVE-2008-4298). |
41 |
|
42 |
* Gaetan Bisson reported that URIs are not decoded before applying |
43 |
url.redirect and url.rewrite rules (CVE-2008-4359). |
44 |
|
45 |
* Anders1 reported that mod_userdir performs case-sensitive |
46 |
comparisons on filename components in configuration options, which is |
47 |
insufficient when case-insensitive filesystems are used |
48 |
(CVE-2008-4360). |
49 |
|
50 |
Impact |
51 |
====== |
52 |
|
53 |
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial |
54 |
of Service, to bypass intended access restrictions, to obtain sensitive |
55 |
information, or to possibly modify data. |
56 |
|
57 |
Workaround |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
61 |
|
62 |
Resolution |
63 |
========== |
64 |
|
65 |
All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version: |
66 |
|
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.20" |
