Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.1.2008.1645
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1645-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lighttpd' package(s) announced via the DSA-1645-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lighttpd' package(s) announced via the DSA-1645-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in lighttpd, a fast webserver with minimal memory footprint.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2008-4298

A memory leak in the http_request_parse function could be used by remote attackers to cause lighttpd to consume memory, and cause a denial of service attack.

CVE-2008-4359

Inconsistant handling of URL patterns could lead to the disclosure of resources a server administrator did not anticipate when using rewritten URLs.

CVE-2008-4360

Upon filesystems which don't handle case-insensitive paths differently it might be possible that unanticipated resources could be made available by mod_userdir.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.13-4etch11.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd package.

Affected Software/OS:
'lighttpd' package(s) on Debian 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
