DSA-1205-2 thttpd Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The original advisory for this issue didn't contain fixed packages for all supported architectures which are corrected in this update. For reference please find below the original advisory text: Marco d'Itri discovered that thttpd, a small, fast and secure webserver, makes use of insecure temporary files when its logfiles are rotated, which might lead to a denial of service through a symlink attack. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.23beta1-3sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.23beta1-5. We recommend that you upgrade your thttpd package.
