lighttpd: script source disclosure

Package(s):lighttpd CVE #(s):
Created:February 15, 2005 Updated:February 16, 2005
Description: lighttpd uses file extensions to determine which elements are programs that should be executed and which are static pages that should be sent as-is. By appending %00 to the filename, you can evade the extension detection mechanism while still accessing the file. A remote attacker could send specific queries and access the source of scripts that should have been executed as CGI or FastCGI applications.
