Gentoo has released security updates to address a vulnerability identified in thttpd. This issue is due to an error in the start-stop-daemon that performs a "chdir /" command just before starting the thttpd process, which could cause the thttpd process to start with the document root set to "/" allowing remote attackers to read and gain unauthorized access to arbitrary files.
Affected Products
www-servers/thttpd versions prior to 2.25b-r6
Solution
Upgrade the affected package :
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose " >=www-servers/thttpd-2.25b-r5"
