Summary
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the lighttpd web server. CVE-2014-2323 Jann Horn discovered that specially crafted host names can be used to inject arbitrary MySQL queries in lighttpd servers using the MySQL virtual hosting module (mod_mysql_vhost). This only affects installations with the lighttpd-mod-mysql-vhost binary package installed and in use. CVE-2014-2324 Jann Horn discovered that specially crafted host names can be used to traverse outside of the document root under certain situations in lighttpd servers using either the mod_mysql_vhost, mod_evhost, or mod_simple_vhost virtual hosting modules.
