Background ========== 3proxy is a really tiny cross-platform proxy servers set, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS and POP3 support. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-proxy/3proxy < 0.5.3j >= 0.5.3j Description =========== 3proxy contains a double free vulnerability in the ftpprchild() function, which frees param->hostname and calls the parsehostname() function, which in turn attempts to free param->hostname again. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the proxy, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service. Under typical configuration, the scope of this vulnerability is limited to the local network. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All 3proxy users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/3proxy-0.5.3j" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-5622 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5622 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200711-13.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
