Background ========== lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.4.20 >= 1.4.20 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in lighttpd: * Qhy reported a memory leak in the http_request_parse() function in request.c (CVE-2008-4298). * Gaetan Bisson reported that URIs are not decoded before applying url.redirect and url.rewrite rules (CVE-2008-4359). * Anders1 reported that mod_userdir performs case-sensitive comparisons on filename components in configuration options, which is insufficient when case-insensitive filesystems are used (CVE-2008-4360). Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of Service, to bypass intended access restrictions, to obtain sensitive information, or to possibly modify data. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.20" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-4298 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4298 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-4359 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4359 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-4360 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4360 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200812-04.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
