HTTP Header Smuggling via Trailer Merge
lighttpd1.4.80 incorrectly merged trailer fields into headers after http request parsing. This behavior can be exploited to conduct HTTP Header Smuggling attacks.
Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to:
* Bypass access control rules
* Inject unsafe input into backend logic that trusts request headers
* Execute HTTP Request Smuggling attacks under some conditions
This issue affects lighttpd1.4.80
A mismatch caused by client-triggered server-sent stream resets between HTTP/2 specifications and the internal architectures of some HTTP/2 implementations may result in excessive server resource consumption leading to denial-of-service (DoS). By opening streams and then rapidly triggering the server to reset them—using malformed frames or flow control errors—an attacker can exploit incorrect stream accounting. Streams reset by the server are considered closed at the protocol level, even though backend processing continues. This allows a client to cause the server to handle an unbounded number of concurrent streams on a single connection. Th
