MGASA-2012-0309
Date: 	October 29th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated libproxy packages fix security vulnerability:

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the libproxy's url::get_pac()
used to download proxy.pac proxy auto-configuration file. A malicious
host hosting proxy.pac, or a man in the middle attacker, could use this
flaw to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in an application using
libproxy, if proxy configuration instructed it to download proxy.pac
file from a remote HTTP server (CVE-2012-4504).
