Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201006-17 - A processing error in lighttpd might result in a Denial of Service condition. Li Ming reported that lighttpd does not properly process packets that are sent overly slow. Versions less than 1.4.25-r1 are affected.
b2e132b9a332e4addc4cc5c950b02a9ac12e11a4cbb8b90dddeac80c341ad61bDebian Linux Security Advisory 1987-1 - Li Ming discovered that lighttpd, a small and fast webserver with minimal memory footprint, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack due to bad memory handling. Slowly sending very small chunks of request data causes lighttpd to allocate new buffers for each read instead of appending to old ones. An attacker can abuse this behaviour to cause denial of service conditions due to memory exhaustion.
