Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions lighttpd versions prior to 1.4.51

Description A condition exists whereby a remote attacker can craft an http request which could result in multiple outcomes:

1. cause lighttpd to access freed memory in which case the process lighttpd is running in could be terminated or other non-deterministic behavior could result
2. a memory information disclosure event could result which could be used to determine the state of memory which could then be used to theoretically bypass ALSR protections.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.51, update to version 1.4.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the http request endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
