+  <title>thttpd: Unauthenticated remote file access</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    The default configuration of the Gentoo thttpd package potentially allows
+    unauthenticated access to system files when used with newer versions of
+    baselayout.

+    thttpd is a webserver designed to be simple, small, and fast.

+    <p>
+    thttpd is vulnerable to an underlying change made to the
+    start-stop-daemon command in the current stable Gentoo baselayout
+    package (version 1.12.6). In the new version, the start-stop-daemon
+    command performs a "chdir /" command just before starting the thttpd
+    process. In the Gentoo default configuration, this causes thttpd to
+    start with the document root set to "/", the sytem root directory.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    When thttpd starts with the document root set to the system root
+    directory, all files on the system that are readable by the thttpd
+    process can be remotely accessed by unauthenticated users.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Alter the THTTPD_OPTS variable in /etc/conf.d/thttpd to include the
+    "-d" option to specify the document root. Alternatively, modify the
+    THTTPD_OPTS variable in /etc/conf.d/thttpd to specify a thttpd.conf
+    file using the "-C" option, and then configure the "dir=" directive in
+    that thttpd.conf file.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All thttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/thttpd-2.25b-r5"</code>
