Description |
| 36 |
=========== |
| 37 |
|

Impact |

====== |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted transparent request to |
| 45 |
the proxy, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with privileges |
| 46 |
of the user running 3proxy. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |

|
| 53 |
Resolution |

========== |
| 55 |
|

| 58 |
# emerge --sync |
| 59 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/3proxy-0.5.3h" |
