Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67442
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 11 FEDORA-2010-7636 (lighttpd)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to lighttpd
announced via advisory FEDORA-2010-7636.

Secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server which has been optimized
for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared
to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set
(FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) make
it the perfect webserver-software for every server that is suffering load
problems.

Available rpmbuild rebuild options :
--with : gamin webdavprops webdavlocks memcache
--without : ldap gdbm lua (cml)

Update Information:

Update lighttpd to the latest version of the 1.4 branch, with the spawn-fcgi
program split out for the first time on EL. This fixes CVE-2010-0295 and also
includes a fix for upstream bug #2157 where SSL stopped working with RHEL 5.4.
