Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Lighttpd, each allowing for |
19 |
a Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Lighttpd is a lightweight HTTP web server. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |
28 |
|
29 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.4.14 >= 1.4.14 |
33 |
|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Robert Jakabosky discovered an infinite loop triggered by a connection |
38 |
abort when Lighttpd processes carriage return and line feed sequences. |
39 |
Marcus Rueckert discovered a NULL pointer dereference when a server |
40 |
running Lighttpd tries to access a file with a mtime of 0. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker could upload a specially crafted file to the server |
46 |
or send a specially crafted request and then abort the connection, |
47 |
possibly resulting in a crash or a Denial of Service by CPU |
48 |
consumption. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All Lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.14" |
