Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25219)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

url::recvline in url.cpp in libproxy 0.4.x through 0.4.15 allows a remote HTTP server to trigger uncontrolled recursion via a response composed of an infinite stream that lacks a newline character. This leads to stack exhaustion.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26154)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

url.cpp in libproxy through 0.4.15 is prone to a buffer overflow when PAC is enabled, as demonstrated by a large PAC file that is delivered without a Content-length header.
