HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Privoxy versions prior to 3.0.29
Description:
A flaw was found in Privoxy. Memory leaks in the client-tags CGI handler when client tags are configured and memory allocations fail can lead to a system 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 disabling the client-tags CGI handler until a patch is available. Restrict access to the client-tags configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation.
