Background ========== lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.4.18-r2 >= 1.4.18-r2 Description =========== lighttpd contains a calculation error when allocating the global file descriptor array (CVE-2008-0983). Furthermore, it sends the source of a CGI script instead of returning a 500 error (Internal Server Error) when the fork() system call fails (CVE-2008-1111). Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of Service or gain the source of a CGI script. 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-1.4.18-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-0983 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0983 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-1111 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1111 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200803-10.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.
