Descriptions

mod_userdir in lighttpd before 1.4.20, when a case-insensitive operating system or filesystem is used, performs case-sensitive comparisons on filename components in configuration options, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, as demonstrated by a request for a .PHP file when there is a configuration rule for .php files.

mod_userdir de lighttpd versiones anteriores a v1.4.20, cuando un sistema operativo insensible a mayúsculas o minúsculas o sistemas de ficheros son utilizados, realiza comparaciones entre mayúsculas y minúsculas en componentes de nombres de ficheros en las opciones de configuración, lo cual puede permitir a atacantes remotos evitar restricciones de acceso intencionadas, como lo demostrado por un fichero .PHP cuando hay una regla de configuración de ficheros .php.
