Rating: Moderately Critical

====================================================================== 
3) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Lighttpd, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

The vulnerability is caused due to a validation error of the filename
extension supplied by the user in the URL. This can be exploited to
retrieve the source code of script files (e.g. PHP) from the server
via specially-crafted requests containing dot and space characters.

Looks like a Windows specific thing or a dupe from bug 123022

Likely a dupe. I wanted to track it anyways, since the advisory is very unspecific and the CVE entry status is under review, so there's not much information available.

http://www.lighttpd.net/news/ says it's a Windows-only issue.
