+ <background>
+ <p>
+ lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Julien Cayzax discovered that an insecure default setting exists in
+ mod_userdir in lighttpd. When userdir.path is not set the default value
+ used is $HOME. It should be noted that the "nobody" user's $HOME is "/"
+ (CVE-2008-1270). An error also exists in the SSL connection code which
+ can be triggered when a user prematurely terminates his connection
+ (CVE-2008-1531).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability to read
+ arbitrary files. The second vulnerability can be exploited by a remote
+ attacker to cause a Denial of Service by terminating a victim's SSL
+ connection.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ As a workaround for CVE-2008-1270 you can set userdir.path to a
+ sensible value, e.g. <i>"public_html"</i>.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.19-r2"</code>
