CVSS 2.0 ([email protected]): 4.3 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

The connection_state_machine function (connections.c) in lighttpd 1.4.19 and earlier, and 1.5.x before 1.5.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (active SSL connection loss) by triggering an SSL error, such as disconnecting before a download has finished, which causes all active SSL connections to be lost.

Affected configurations

• lighttpd lighttpd (<= 1.4.19) • lighttpd lighttpd (>= 1.5 < 1.5.0) • debian debian linux 4.0
