CVE-2008-0983

Publication date 26 February 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
