Lighttpd · Lighttpd · CVE-2007-1869
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
lighttpd versions 1.4.12 through 1.4.13
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming CPU and resources. This is achieved by disconnecting while the software is parsing CRLF sequences, triggering an infinite loop and file descriptor consumption.
Recommendations:
For versions 1.4.12 and 1.4.13, consider restricting access to prevent remote attackers from disconnecting during the parsing of CRLF sequences as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
