http://secunia.com/product/4661/

lighttpd "just" has 3 known "advisories" released there. And well,
running lighttpd on a production system and being concerned about
security is pretty much like walking nude in a donkey farm, fully
covered with pheromones.

Any 'study' done upon known statistics is already a flawed assumption
as a whole.

Not that I'm doing propaganda for Apache. Given that nowadays people
pretend to publicize mod_security and friends for improving the
security of their 'web applications' the situation isn't really nice,
for them.

Cheers.
