Description:
This update for lighttpd fixes the following issues:
lighttpd was updated to 1.4.66:
* a number of bug fixes
* Fix HTTP/2 downloads >= 4GiB
* Fix SIGUSR1 graceful restart with TLS
* futher bug fixes
* CVE-2022-37797: null pointer dereference in mod_wstunnel,
possibly a remotely triggerable crash (boo#1203358)
* In an upcoming release the TLS modules will default to using
stronger, modern chiphers and will default to allow client
preference in selecting ciphers.
“CipherString” => “EECDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:CHACHA20:SHA256:!SHA384”,
“Options” => “-ServerPreference”
old defaults:
“CipherString” => “HIGH”,
“Options” => “ServerPreference”
* A number of TLS options are how deprecated and will be removed
in a future release:
– ssl.honor-cipher-order
– ssl.dh-file
– ssl.ec-curve
– ssl.disable-client-renegotiation
– ssl.use-sslv2
– ssl.use-sslv3
The replacement option is ssl.openssl.ssl-conf-cmd, but lighttpd
defaults should be prefered
* A number of modules are now deprecated and will be removed in a
future release: mod_evasive, mod_secdownload, mod_uploadprogress,
mod_usertrack can be replaced by mod_magnet and a few lines of lua.
