Description
Tomas Hoger reports: 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.
