Descriptions

lighttpd before 1.4.34, when SNI is enabled, configures weak SSL ciphers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions by inserting packets into the client-server data stream or obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

lighttpd anteriores a 1.4.34, cuando SNI esta habilitado, configura cifrados SSL débiles, lo que hace más fácil para un atacante remoto secuestrar sesiones insertando paquetes en el flujo de datos cliente-servidor u obtener información sensible capturando la red.

lighttpd before 1.4.34, when SNI is enabled, configures weak SSL ciphers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions by inserting packets into the client-server data stream or obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network. In lighttpd before 1.4.34, if setuid() fails for any reason, for instance if an environment limits the number of processes a user can have and the target uid already is at the limit, lighttpd will run as root. A user who can run CGI scripts could clone() often; in this case a lighttpd restart would end up with lighttpd running as root, and the CGI scripts would run as root too. In lighttpd before 1.4.34, if fam is enabled and there are directories reachable from configured doc roots and aliases on which FAMMonitorDirectory fails, a remote client could trigger a DoS.
