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:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
