Acme ‘thttpd’ and ‘mini_httpd’ are prone to a command-injection
vulnerability because they fail to adequately sanitize user-supplied
input in logfiles.
Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands in
a terminal.
This issue affects thttpd 2.25b and mini_httpd 1.19; other versions
may also be affected.
