Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lighttpd

Dear Colleagues,

lighttpd 1.4.19 was released on 2008-03-10
(http://www.lighttpd.net/2008/3/10/1-4-19-made-in-germany):

It fixes all our security updates in hardy and as well a list of other buggers 
like:
    *  added support for If-Range: <date> (#1346)

matching the end of the uri in fcgi,scgi and proxy modules (#1489)

    * add IdleServers and Scoreboard directives in ?auto mode for mod_status 
(#1507)

    * HTTPS env var should be "on" when using mod_extforward and the

    * support chained proxies in mod_extforward (#1528)
    * fixed bogus "cgi died ?" if we kill the CGI process on shutdown
    * fixed ECONNRESET handling in network-openssl
    * fixed handling of EAGAIN in network-linux-sendfile (#657)
    * reset conditional cache (#1164)

    * fixed out of range access in fd array (#1562, #372) (CVE-2008-0983)
    * mod_compress should check if the request is already handled, e.g. by 
fastcgi (#1565)
    * remove broken workaround for buggy Opera version with ssl/chunked 
encoding (#285)
    * generate etag/last-modified header for on-the-fly-compressed files (#1171)

    * fixed memory leak on windows (#1347)
    * fixed building outside of the src dir (#1349)
    * fixed including of stdint.h/inttypes.h in etag.c (#1413)
    * do not add Accept-Ranges header if range-request is disabled (#1449)
    * log the ip of failed auth tries in error.log (enhancement #1544)
    * fixed RoundRobin in mod_proxy (#516)
    * check for symlinks after successful pathinfo matching (#1574)
    * fixed mod-proxy.t to run with a builddir outside of the src dir
    * do not suppress content on "307 Temporary Redirect" (#1412)
    * fixed Content-Length header if response body gets removed in 
connections.c (#1412, part 2)

test too
    * remove compress cache file if compression or write failed (#1150)

(CVE-2008-1111)
    * fix min-procs handling in mod_scgi.c, just set to max-procs (patch from 
#623)
    * fix sending "408 - Timeout" instead of "410 - Gone" for timedout urls in 
mod_secdownload (#1440)
    * workaround #1587: require userdir.path to be set to enable mod_userdir 
(empty string allowed) (CVE-2008-1270)
    * make configure checks for --with-pcre, --with-zlib and --with-bzip2 
failing if the headers aren't found
    * fixed handling of waitpid() == EINTR mod_ssi on solaris

I packaged 1.4.19 (it's not already in debian) and added all packaging
changes from the debian version to 1.4.19.

Rational:

First, we can drop all patches from 1.4.18 package. 
Second, all CVEs are fixed upstream, regarding the LTS version of hardy we 
don't have a lot to take care anymore. Only newer security issues needs to be 
fixed.
third, it is fixes more bugs, instead of introducing new features (this will be 
the case for 1.5.)
