Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in lighttpd (Web Server). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component mod_evhost. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:
