lighttpd: Remote DoS (excessive memory use) by handling specially-crafted HTTP request

Published Feb 3, 2010

Description

lighttpd before 1.4.26, and 1.5.x, allocates a buffer for each read operation that occurs for a request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by breaking a request into small pieces that are sent at a slow rate.
