Summary
As the fix is in a configuration file lying in /etc, the update won't be
enforced if the file has been modified by the administrator. In that case, care
should be taken to manually apply the fix.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.28-2+squeeze1.3.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.31-4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.31-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd packages.
