[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#406080: lighttpd: Does not cleanup environment upon startup

Mon Jan 8 15:53:36 CET 2007

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.11-2bpo1
Severity: normal

The LigHTTPd init script does not clean out the process environment. 

I noticed this while debugging a PHP error ('mail()' would fail in a
script but not when run on the CLI). A simple script showed that HOME,
MAIL, TERM etc where all set. A simple way to see this would be the
following PHP script:

<?php
echo('<html><body><tt>');
system('env');
echo('</tt></body></html>');
?>
