#### variable usage:
## variable name without "." is auto prefixed by "var." and becomes "var.bar" 
#bar = 1
#var.mystring = "foo" 

## integer add
#bar += 1
## string concat, with integer cast as string, result: "www.foo1.com" 
#server.name = "www." + mystring + var.bar + ".com" 
## array merge
#index-file.names = (foo + ".php") + index-file.names
#index-file.names += (foo + ".php")

#### include
#include /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd-inc.conf
## same as above if you run: "lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" 
#include "lighttpd-inc.conf" 

#### include_shell
#include_shell "echo var.a=1" 
## the above is same as:
#var.a=1

This was tested on:

1.4.20 OSX Leopard 10.5.7 filesystem: hfs+
1.4.22 freebsd 7.2 stable amd64 filesystem: ufs

On linux, I tested on a centos 5.2 box and the bug does not manifest on linux.

Preliminary patch to work around that bug. Needs review and testing.

darix: Real-world applications need to cope with OS bugs, particularly when there are security implications. Ignoring them ("oh well, not our problem!") when you're maintaining security critical, internet-facing software like this is very irresponsible.

icy: This patch seems to work (in FBSD 7.1), but returns the wrong error (500). That's because it doesn't set errno, probably leaving it at ESUCCESS from the stat() call. Updated patch attached; now it returns 403.

Only tested by creating a symlink, disabling follow-symlinks, and reading the file with and without a trailing slash. I havn't tried it combined with CGI of any kind.

Note that if follow-symlinks is true, it does still serve the file with a trailing slash. stat_cache_get_entry is called three times: twice with the trailing slash, returning an error, and then once with the slash removed. stat_cache_get_entry is operating correctly and I havn't looked further up the logic. This behavior is fine with follow-symlinks enabled, but someone should specifically verify it with CGI.

I assume this needs porting to 1.5, too.

Thanks peto for enhencing the patch. I only hacked it quickly together :)

Here's a list of OSs that have been tested for this bug:

affected: FreeBSD, OSX, Solaris < 10
not affected: Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, Solaris 10

Thanks also to everyone who tested on those systems at this point.

Well. The fbsd behavior is just broken and it is known since 2000. while we can add a workaround for this. imho the real fix should be applied to the broken OS.

While it might not be our "job" to fix it, providing a fix (which doesn't break anything and is not complex) is a good thing for sure.
The enhenced patch by peto seems to work well after some quick testing.

Use this to prevent the source code leakage (returns 403 instead of using "/" as PATH_INFO for a normal request):

static-file.exclude-extensions += ( "/" )

Imho it is the job of the lighty package maintainers of the broken OS to apply the patch. I don't like workarounds upstream (they often make things worse...); they broke it, they can fix it easily as peto provided a patch (thx peto).

Btw: There are similar issues with alternate data streams - NTFS ::$DATA; and we don't care about them either.

And as it looks like some people didn't get that: 1.4.23 is neither the affected version (it isn't even released yet...) nor is it a lighty bug.
