    Summary: Updated lighttpd packages fix CVE-2015-3200 & other bugs

    Details: Updated lighttpd packages fix security vulnerability: mod_auth in lighttpd before 1.4.36 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary log entries via a basic HTTP authentication string without a colon character, as demonstrated by a string containing a NULL and new line character (CVE-2015-3200). The lighttpd package has been updated to version 1.4.37, fixing this issue and several other bugs. In the Mageia 4 package, improvements have been made to the logrotate configuration and systemd service, allowing graceful reloading of configuration files and proper re-opening of log files (mga#15948, mga#15980).
