Subject: [Full-disclosure] rPSA-2007-0183-1 lighttpd

rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0183-1
Published: 2007-09-14
Products: rPath Linux 1
Rating: Severe
Exposure Level Classification:
    Remote System User Deterministic Unauthorized Access
Updated Versions:
    lighttpd=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/1.4.18-0.1-1

References:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4727
    https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1715

Description:
    Previous versions of the lighttpd package are vulnerable to a remote
    Arbitrary Code Execution attack due to a header overflow in the
    mod_fastcgi extension.
    
    lighttpd is not installed by default on rPath Linux systems; only
    systems customized to include lighttpd and enable mod_fastcgi are
    vulnerable.
    
    Note that the rPath Appliance Platform Agent (rAPA) does not enable
    the mod_fastcgi extension, and so is not vulnerable to this attack.
