Debian Bug : 741493
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the lighttpd web server.
CVE-2014-2323
Jann Horn discovered that specially crafted host names can be used
to inject arbitrary MySQL queries in lighttpd servers using the
MySQL virtual hosting module (mod_mysql_vhost).
This only affects installations with the lighttpd-mod-mysql-vhost
binary package installed and in use.
CVE-2014-2324
Jann Horn discovered that specially crafted host names can be used
to traverse outside of the document root under certain situations
in lighttpd servers using either the mod_mysql_vhost, mod_evhost,
or mod_simple_vhost virtual hosting modules.
Servers not using these modules are not affected.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.28-2+squeeze1.6.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.31-4+deb7u3.
For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems will be fixed soon.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.33-1+nmu3.
We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd packages.
