CVE-2022-30780
CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Lighttpd versions 1.4.56 through 1.4.58
Description
The issue allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service due to CPU consumption from stuck connections. This is because a typo in the
connection read header more function in connections.c disrupts the use of multiple read operations on large headers. An unauthorized attacker can send an HTTP request with a URL that exceeds the maximum URL length, leading to a denial of service.Recommendations
For versions 1.4.56 through 1.4.58, update to a version that fixes the typo in the
connection read header more function to prevent the denial of service issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the maximum allowed URL length to prevent exploitation until a patch is available.Exploit
