+ <background>
+ <p>
+ lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
+ of Service or gain the source of a CGI script.
+ </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 &quot;&gt;=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.18-r2&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
