"One important denial of service (in 1.4.31) fix: CVE-2012-5533.

A flaw was found in lighttpd version 1.4.31 that could be exploited by
a remote user to cause a denial of service condition in lighttpd. A
client could send a malformed Connection header to lighttpd (such as
'Connection: TE,,Keep-Alive'), which would cause lighttpd to enter an
endless loop, detecting an empty token but not incrementing the
current string position, causing it to continually read ',' over and
over.

This flaw was introduced in 1.4.31 [1] when an 'invalid read' bug was
fixed [2].
