Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2008-10-04 15:40:05 UTC
CVE-2008-4359 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-4359):
  lighttpd before 1.4.20 compares URIs to patterns in the (1)
  url.redirect and (2) url.rewrite configuration settings before
  performing URL decoding, which might allow remote attackers to bypass
  intended access restrictions, and obtain sensitive information or
  possibly modify data.

Didn't see the CVE in 238180 first, sorry.
