CVE-2010-0295
lighttpd before 1.4.26, and 1.5.x, allocates a buffer for each read operation that occurs for a request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by breaking a request into small pieces that are sent at a slow rate.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 12.1%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
