CVE-2008-4359

Publication date 3 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
