lighttpd – security update

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

* [CVE-2022-37797](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-37797)
An invalid HTTP request (websocket handshake) may cause a NULL
pointer dereference in the wstunnel module.
* [CVE-2022-41556](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-41556)
A resource leak in mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi could lead to a denial

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.59-1+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lighttpd packages.
