Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
A vulnerability has been discovered in 3proxy, possibly resulting in a |
22 |
Denial of Service. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
3proxy is a really tiny cross-platform proxy servers set, including |
28 |
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS and POP3 support. |
29 |
|
30 |
Affected packages |
31 |
================= |
32 |
|

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
36 |
1 net-proxy/3proxy < 0.5.3j >= 0.5.3j |

|
38 |
Description |
39 |
=========== |
40 |
|
41 |
3proxy contains a double free vulnerability in the ftpprchild() |
42 |
function, which frees param->hostname and calls the parsehostname() |
43 |
function, which in turn attempts to free param->hostname again. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the proxy, |
49 |
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service. Under typical configuration, |
50 |
the scope of this vulnerability is limited to the local network. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All 3proxy users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/3proxy-0.5.3j" |
64 |
