[0] Does not apply to 1.4.33
[1] Does not apply to 1.4.33, and Arch doesn't even use FAM in lighttpd.

I'd hope that for a fix as large as [2], upstream would simply do a new release... Have you looked into the release schedule for (I suppose) 1.4.34?

Ho sorry, i mis-read the announcements, my bad!

AFAIK, they will release a 1.4.34 soon, but i don't know when exactly.

I m not sure about CVE-2013-4559; while the txt says 1.4.33 is not affected, the patch applies and it will be part of the next release.

As it is really easy to add these patches, I prefer being safe than sorry here and just pushed a new package. I also included the FAM patch for those who compile from source.

It is unfortunate that there is no upstream announcement an no talk about a new release.
