Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions lighttpd versions prior to 1.4.26 lighttpd version 1.5.x

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to memory consumption. This is achieved by breaking a request into small pieces and sending them at a slow rate, causing the allocation of a buffer for each read operation.

Recommendations For lighttpd versions prior to 1.4.26, update to version 1.4.26 or later. For lighttpd version 1.5.x, consider restricting the size of requests or the rate at which they are processed as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
