CVE-2008-1270

Publication date 10 March 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

mod_userdir in lighttpd 1.4.18 and earlier, when userdir.path is not set, uses a default of $HOME, which might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated by accessing the ~nobody directory.
