Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2015-01-26 16:02:28 UTC

It was reported [1] that Privoxy 3.0.23 contains fixes for the following security issues:

- Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect
  chunk-encoded body. When compiled with assertions enabled
  (the default) they could previously cause Privoxy to abort().
  Reported by Matthew Daley.
  http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/jcc.c?r1=1.433&r2=1.434

- Fixed multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the
  pcrs code. This fix also increases the chances that an invalid
  pcrs command is rejected as such. Previously some invalid commands
  would be loaded without error. Note that Privoxy's pcrs sources
  (action and filter files) are considered trustworthy input and
  should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.
  http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/pcrs.c?r1=1.46&r2=1.47

- Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically
  cause Privoxy to crash.
