More information:

Two problems were discovered with lighttpd, a fast webserver with minimal memory footprint, which could allow denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    Remote attackers could cause denial of service by disconnecting partway through making a request.

  • CVE-2007-1870

    A NULL pointer dereference could cause a crash when serving files with a mtime of 0.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.13-4etch1.
