Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2372-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libproxy' package(s) announced via the DLA-2372-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libproxy' package(s) announced via the DLA-2372-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that there was a denial of service attack in libproxy, a library to make applications HTTP proxy aware. A remote server could cause an infinite stack recursion.

CVE-2020-25219

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.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.14-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libproxy packages.
