Description:
Gentoo has acknowledged a security issue in the www-servers/thttpd package, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to an error within the start-stop daemon in combination with new Gentoo baselayouts (version 1.12.6), which causes the thttpd to start with the document root being set to the system root "/".
Solution:
Update to "www-servers/thttpd-2.25b-r5" or later.
