Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.29
Description:
A flaw in Privoxy causes a memory leak when multiple filters are executed and the last one is skipped due to a pcre error, leading to a system crash. This issue allows attackers to cause the system to crash.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 3.0.29, update to version 3.0.29 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of multiple filters to minimize the risk of exploitation.
