More information:

Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in bozohttpd, a small HTTP server.

• CVE-2014-5015

  Bozotic HTTP server (aka bozohttpd) before 201407081 truncates paths when checking .htpasswd restrictions, which allows remote attackers to bypass the HTTP authentication scheme and access restrictions via a long path.

• CVE-2015-8212

  A flaw in CGI suffix handler support was found, if the -C option has been used to setup a CGI handler, that could result in remote code execution.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 20111118-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your bozohttpd packages.
