  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker might send specially crafted packets to a server
    running lighttpd, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition
    via host memory exhaustion.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.25-r1&quot;</code>
