CVE-2013-4560 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4560): Use-after-free vulnerability in lighttpd before 1.4.33 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via unspecified vectors that trigger FAMMonitorDirectory failures. CVE-2013-4559 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4559): lighttpd before 1.4.33 does not check the return value of the (1) setuid, (2) setgid, or (3) setgroups functions, which might cause lighttpd to run as root if it is restarted and allows remote attackers to gain privileges, as demonstrated by multiple calls to the clone function that cause setuid to fail when the user process limit is reached. Added to existing GLSA draft This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201406-10 at http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201406-10.xml by GLSA coordinator Sergey Popov (pinkbyte). |
