Name : lighttpd Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.4.20 Release : 6.fc9 URL : http://www.lighttpd.net/ Summary : Lightning fast webserver with light system requirements Description : Secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server which has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) make it the perfect webserver-software for every server that is suffering load problems. Available rpmbuild rebuild options : --with : gamin webdavprops webdavlocks memcache --without : ldap gdbm lua (cml) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes some moderate security issues and includes a few enhancements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Dec 24 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.20-6 - Partially revert last change by creating a "spawn-fastcgi" symlink, so that nothing breaks currently (especially for EL). - Install empty poweredby image on RHEL since the symlink's target is missing. - Split spawn-fcgi off in its own sub-package, have fastcgi package require it to provide backwards compatibility. * Mon Dec 22 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.20-3 - Rename spawn-fastcgi to lighttpd-spawn-fastcgi to avoid clash with other packages providing it for their own needs (#472749). It's not used as-is by lighttpd, so it shouldn't be a problem... at worst, some custom scripts will need to be updated. * Mon Dec 22 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.20-2 - Include conf.d/*.conf configuration snippets (#444953). - Mark the default index.html in order to not loose changes upon upgrade if it was edited or replaced with a different file (#438564). - Include patch to add the INIT INFO block to the init script (#246973). * Mon Oct 13 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.20-1 - Update to 1.4.20 final. * Mon Sep 22 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.20-0.1.r2303 - Update to 1.4.20 r2303 pre-release. * Mon Sep 22 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.19-5 - Include memory leak patch (changeset #2305 from ticket #1774). * Thu Apr 24 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.19-4 - Merge in second changest from upstream fix for upstream bug #285. * Thu Mar 27 2008 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.4.19-3 - Include sslshutdown patch, upstream fix to upstream bug #285 (#439066). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #464637 - CVE-2008-4298 lighttpd: memory leak http_request_parse() in request.c https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464637 [ 2 ] Bug #465751 - CVE-2008-4359 lighttpd: bypass of rewrite/redirect rules using encoded urls https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465751 [ 3 ] Bug #465752 - CVE-2008-4360 lighttpd: mod_userdir information disclosure on case-insensitve filesystems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465752 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
