[Nico Golde]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.13-4etch4
Severity: important
Tags: security patch

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for lighttpd.

CVE-2008-1111[0]:
mod_cgi in lighttpd is going to send the source of a cgi 
script if forking the cgi handler fails for some reason. it 
should result in a 500 instead.
The default installation of Debian is not affected as it 
does not include the mod_cgi configuration but this should 
be fixed anyway.

You can find a patch for this on:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/changeset/2107

Note the CVE id is not yet available on the mitre site but 
it will be soon hopefully.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.

Kind regards
Nico
