+ <background>
+ <p>
+ lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in lighttpd:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Qhy reported a memory leak in the http_request_parse() function in
+ request.c (CVE-2008-4298).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Gaetan Bisson reported that URIs are not decoded before applying
+ url.redirect and url.rewrite rules (CVE-2008-4359).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ 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).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </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-1.4.20"</code>
