lighttpd (1.4.30-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  This releases includes an option to force Lighttpd to honor the cipher order
  in ssl.cipher-list. This mitigates the effects of a SSL CBC attack commonly
  referred to as "BEAST attack". See [1] and CVE-2011-3389 for more details.

  To minimze the risk of this attack it is recommended either to disable all CBC
  ciphers (beware: this will break reasonably old clients or those who support
  CBC ciphers only), or pursue clients to use safe ciphers where possible at
  least. To do so, set

  ssl.cipher-list =  "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:AES256-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH:!AESGCM"
  ssl.honor-cipher-order = "enable"

  in your /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-ssl.conf file or on any SSL enabled
  host you configured. If you did not change this file previously, this upgrade
  will update it automatically.
