UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the packaging of privoxy on openSUSE Leap 15.1, Factory allows local attackers to escalate from user privoxy to root. This issue affects: openSUSE Leap 15.1 privoxy version 3.0.28-lp151.1.1 and prior versions. openSUSE Factory privoxy version 3.0.28-2.1 and prior versions.
The clienthost function in parsers.c in Privoxy before 3.0.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via an empty HTTP Host header.
The removechunkedtransfercoding function in filters.c in Privoxy before 3.0.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via crafted chunk-encoded content.
Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in Privoxy before 3.0.22 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to (1) the unmap function in list.c or (2) "two additional unconfirmed use-after-free complaints made by Coverity scan." NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
parsers.c in Privoxy before 3.0.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via vectors related to an HTTP time header.
jcc.c in Privoxy before 3.0.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (abort) via a crafted chunk-encoded body.
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in pcrs.c in Privoxy before 3.0.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault or memory consumption) via unspecified vectors.
Memory leak in the rfc2553connectto function in jbsocket.c in Privoxy before 3.0.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of requests that are rejected because the socket limit is reached.
Privoxy before 3.0.21 does not properly handle Proxy-Authenticate and Proxy-Authorization headers in the client-server data stream, which makes it easier for remote HTTP servers to spoof the intended proxy service via a 407 (aka Proxy Authentication Required) HTTP status code.
