Bugs: #174043
ID: 200705-07

Synopsis
========
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Lighttpd, each allowing for
a Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Lighttpd is a lightweight HTTP web server.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.4.14 >= 1.4.14
Description
===========
Robert Jakabosky discovered an infinite loop triggered by a connection
abort when Lighttpd processes carriage return and line feed sequences.
Marcus Rueckert discovered a NULL pointer dereference when a server
running Lighttpd tries to access a file with a mtime of 0.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could upload a specially crafted file to the server
or send a specially crafted request and then abort the connection,
possibly resulting in a crash or a Denial of Service by CPU
consumption.
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-1.4.14"
References
==========
