Several vulnerabilities were discovered in lighttpd, a fast webserver
with minimal memory footprint.

CVE-2022-37797

An invalid HTTP request (websocket handshake) may cause a NULL
pointer dereference in the wstunnel module.

CVE-2022-41556

A resource leak in mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi could lead to a denial
