+  <title>lighttpd: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities in lighttpd may lead to information disclosure or
+    a Denial of Service.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Julien Cayzax discovered that an insecure default setting exists in
+    mod_userdir in lighttpd. When userdir.path is not set the default value
+    used is $HOME. It should be noted that the "nobody" user's $HOME is "/"
+    (CVE-2008-1270). An error also exists in the SSL connection code which
+    can be triggered when a user prematurely terminates his connection
+    (CVE-2008-1531).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit the first vulnerability to read
+    arbitrary files. The second vulnerability can be exploited by a remote
+    attacker to cause a Denial of Service by terminating a victim's SSL
+    connection.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    As a workaround for CVE-2008-1270 you can set userdir.path to a
+    sensible value, e.g. <i>"public_html"</i>.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.19-r2"</code>
