CVE-2013-1427
EPSS 0.04%lighttpd - fixed socket name in world-writable directory
Published: 3/21/2013Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
The configuration file for the FastCGI PHP support for lighttpd before 1.4.28 on Debian GNU/Linux creates a socket file with a predictable name in /tmp, which allows local users to hijack the PHP control socket and perform unauthorized actions such as forcing the use of a different version of PHP via a symlink attack or a race condition.
Affected packages (2)
- Debian/lighttpdfrom 0, < 1.4.31-4
- Debian/lighttpdfrom 0, < 1.4.28-2+squeeze1.3
