Synopsis
========

An attacker can trick lighttpd into revealing the source of scripts
that should be executed as CGI or FastCGI applications.

Background
==========

lighttpd is a small-footprint, fast, compliant and very flexible
web-server which is optimized for high-performance environments.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.3.10-r1 >= 1.3.10-r1

Description
===========

lighttpd uses file extensions to determine which elements are programs
that should be executed and which are static pages that should be sent
as-is. By appending %00 to the filename, you can evade the extension
detection mechanism while still accessing the file.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send specific queries and access the source of
scripts that should have been executed as CGI or FastCGI applications.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=www-servers/lighttpd-1.3.10-r1"
