Important changes from 1.4.33

There have been some important security fixes pending (which you should already have gotton through your favorite distribution); I am sorry for the delayed release (we probably should communicate security bugs on our page and mailing lists too for those who are not following oss-security).

We updated the "standard" ssl cipher string recommendation to ssl.cipher-list = "aRSA+HIGH !3DES +kEDH +kRSA !kSRP !kPSK"; see the main release announcement for the detailed reasons.

Regression warning

The fix for lighttpd SA-2013-01 (CVE-2013-4508, "Using possibly vulnerable cipher suites with SNI") includes a regression:

Each SSL_CTX also gets loaded with all values for ssl.ca-file from all blocks in the config.

This means that your ssl.ca-files must not contain cyclic chains and should use unique subject names.

See Debian Bug - #729555 for more details.
