NONE Summary
The configuration file for the FastCGI PHP support for lighttpd before 1.4.28 on Debian GNU/Linux creates a socket file with a predictable name in /tmp, which allows local users to hijack the PHP control socket and perform unauthorized actions such as forcing the use of a different version of PHP via a symlink attack or a race condition.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

NASL family Web Servers NASL id LIGHTTPD_1_4_28.NASL description According to its banner, the version of lighttpd running on the remote host is prior to 1.4.28. Therefore, it may be, affected by the following vulnerability : - The configuration file for the FastCGI PHP support for lighttpd before 1.4.28 on Debian GNU/Linux creates a socket file with a predictable name in /tmp, which allows local users to hijack the PHP control socket and perform unauthorized actions such as forcing the use of a different version of PHP via a symlink attack or a race condition.

(CVE-2010-0295) - The configuration file for the FastCGI PHP support for lighthttpd before 1.4.28 on Debian GNU/Linux creates a socket file with a predictable name in /tmp, which allows local users to hijack the PHP control socket and perform unauthorized actions such as forcing the use of a different version of PHP via a symlink attack or a race condition. (CVE-2013-1427) - Unspecified vulnerability in Lighthttpd in Oracle Solaris 11.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors.

A symlink attack or a race condition could be exploited by a malicious user on the same machine to take over the PHP control socket and for example force the webserver to use a different PHP version.
