Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thttpd-util
The thttpd-util package includes a CGI program ("/usr/lib/cgi-
bin/redirect") to support page redirection. To use this utility, you
place the "redirect" executable in your CGI directory, and add a symlink
to it from the page you want to redirect.
The supplied binary (in version 2.23beta1-6) is dynamically-linked:
$ ldd /usr/lib/cgi-bin/redirect
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00710000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x00d82000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00bc1000)
If you choose to run the thttpd server chrooted (which is the default
setting, and also securest), "redirect" will fail to run correctly and
thttpd returns an error page instead of a redirection.
Recompiling redirect.c statically produces a CGI script that works.
** Affects: thttpd (Ubuntu)
