CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 lighttpd to version 1.4.18-4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lighttpd package and not the lighttpd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

mod_cgi in lighttpd 1.4.18 sends the source code of CGI scripts instead of a 500 error when a fork failure occurs, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
