Synopsis

lighttpd 1.4.56 < 1.4.59 Denial of Service

Description

According to its banner, the version of lighttpd running on the remote host is 1.4.56, 1.4.57 or 1.4.58. It is, therefore, affected by a a denial of service because connection_read_header_more in connections.c has a typo that disrupts use of multiple read operations on large headers.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to lighttpd version 1.4.59 or later.
