lighttpd (1.4.18-1ubuntu6) hardy; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: (LP: #200987)
   + debian/patches/91_CVE-2008-1270.dpatch
    - mod_userdir in lighttpd 1.4.18 and earlier, when userdir.path is not set,
      uses a default of $HOME, which might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary
      files, as demonstrated by accessing the ~nobody directory.
