The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200708-11 (Lighttpd: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Stefan Esser discovered errors with evidence of memory corruption in     the code parsing the headers. Several independent researchers also     reported errors involving the handling of HTTP headers, the mod_auth     and mod_scgi modules, and the limitation of active connections.

Impact :

A remote attacker can trigger any of these vulnerabilities by sending     malicious data to the server, which may lead to a crash or memory     exhaustion, and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
Additionally, access-deny settings can be evaded by appending a final /     to a URL.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
