Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-277

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-277
Posted Nov 21, 2013
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-277 - 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.

Package : lighttpd
Date : November 21, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated lighttpd packages fix security vulnerabilities:

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 (CVE-2013-4508).

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 (CVE-2013-4559).

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
(CVE-2013-4560).
