Synopsis:          Moderate: libproxy security update
Issue Date:        2012-11-14
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2012-4505
--

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libproxy handled the
downloading of proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files. A malicious server
hosting a PAC file or a man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to
cause an application using libproxy to crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code, if the proxy settings obtained by libproxy (from the
environment or the desktop environment settings) instructed the use of a
PAC proxy configuration. (CVE-2012-4505)

All applications using libproxy must be restarted for this update to
take effect.
