Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in lighttpd, a small and fast
webserver with minimal memory footprint.

  • CVE-2011-4362
    Xi Wang discovered that the base64 decoding routine which is used to
    decode user input during an HTTP authentication, suffers of a signedness
    issue when processing user input. As a result it is possible to force
    lighttpd to perform an out-of-bounds read which results in Denial of
    Service conditions.
  • CVE-2011-3389
    When using CBC ciphers on an SSL enabled virtual host to communicate with
    certain client, a so called BEAST attack allows man-in-the-middle
    attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP traffic via a blockwise
    chosen-boundary attack (BCBA) on an HTTPS session. Technically this is
    no lighttpd vulnerability. However, lighttpd offers a workaround to
    mitigate this problem by providing a possibility to disable CBC ciphers.

This updates includes this option by default. System administrators
are advised to read the NEWS file of this update (as this may break older
clients).

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.19-5+lenny3.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.28-2+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.30-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd packages.
