Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to lighttpd announced via advisory DSA 1540-2.

This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1540)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61364).

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that lighttpd, a fast webserver with minimal memory
footprint, was didn't correctly handle SSL errors. This could allow
a remote attacker to disconnect all active SSL connections.

This security update fixes a regression in the previous one, which caused
SSL failures.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
1.4.13-4etch8.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd package.
