Descriptions

mod_userdir in lighttpd 1.4.18 and earlier, when userdir.path is not set, uses a default of $HOME, which might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated by accessing the ~nobody directory.

mod_userdir en lighttpd 1.4.18 y anteriores, cuando no está establecido el userdir.path usa un $HOME por defecto, que podría permitir a atacantes remotos leer ficheros de su elección como se ha demostrado accediendo al directorio ~nobody.
