Detail

This update fixes a regression in lighttpd introduced in DSA-1540, causing SSL failures. For reference the original advisory text is quoted below.

It was discovered that lighttpd, a fast webserver with minimal memory footprint, was didn't correctly handle SSL errors. This could allow a remote attacker to disconnect all active SSL connections.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.13-4etch10.

We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd package.
