Description ybuenos 2022-09-13 11:57:14 UTC 
In lighttpd 1.4.63,65,66 mod_wstunnel does not initialize a handler function pointer if an invalid HTTP request (websocket handshake) is received. It leads to null pointer dereference which crashes the server. It could be used by an external attacker to cause denial of service condition.
