Lighttpd · Lighttpd · CVE-2013-1427
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
lighttpd versions prior to 1.4.28
**Description**
The issue allows local users to hijack the PHP control socket and perform unauthorized actions, such as forcing the use of a different version of PHP via a symlink attack or a race condition, due to a configuration file for the FastCGI PHP support creating a socket file with a predictable name in /tmp.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.4.28, update to version 1.4.28 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /tmp directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
