Information

Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.

By not specifying which files can and cannot be served to a user, VAMI could potentially deliver sensitive files.

Solution

Navigate to and open /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.

Add or reconfigure the following value:

url.access-deny = ( '~', '.inc' )
