    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2571-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Raphael Geissert November 04, 2012 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : libproxy
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-4505

    The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that libproxy, a library
    for automatic proxy configuration management, applied insufficient
    validation to the Content-Length header sent by a server providing a
    proxy.pac file. Such remote server could trigger an integer overflow
    and consequently overflow an in-memory buffer.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.3.1-2+squeeze1.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.3.1-5.1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libproxy packages.
