Description Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-03 23:07:35 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-1111 to the following vulnerability:

When mod_cgi running onlighttpd is unable to fork anymore (for instance if
ulimit is reached) lighty sends the full source of the cgi script. This is
rather serious and affects all users of mod_cgi. The patch (found at lighttpd's
subversion repository) returns a 500 response instead.
