Package        : lighttpd
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-37797 CVE-2022-41556

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in lighttpd, a fast webserver
with minimal memory footprint.

CVE-2022-37797

    An invalid HTTP request (websocket handshake) may cause a NULL
    pointer dereference in the wstunnel module.

CVE-2022-41556

    A resource leak in mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi could lead to a denial
    of service after a large number of bad HTTP requests.
