CVE-2008-0983 (Medium) :
lighttpd 1.4.18, and possibly other versions before 1.5.0, does not properly calculate the size of a
file descriptor array, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large
number of connections, which triggers an out-of-bounds access.
CVE-2008-1111 (Medium) :
mod_cgi in lighttpd 1.4.18 sends the source code of CGI scripts instead of a 500 error when a
fork failure occurs, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
CVE-2008-1270 (Medium) :
mod_userdir in lighttpd 1.4.18 and earlier, when userdir.path is not set, uses a default of $HOME,
which might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated by accessing the
~nobody directory.
