Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Buffer overflow in Tinyproxy HTTP proxy 1.3.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via a long connect request.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit 364cdb6, fails to reject requests containing multiple Content-Length headers with differing values, forwarding all duplicate headers to the backend while using the first value to determine how many request body bytes to consume. Remote attackers can desynchronize the proxy and backend parser state, allowing injection of arbitrary HTTP requests to the backend to enable cache poisoning, access control bypass, and request hijacking.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit ff45d3b, fails to reconcile conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers, forwarding both verbatim to the backend while using Content-Length to determine how many request body bytes to consume. Remote attackers can desynchronize the proxy and backend parser state, allowing injection of arbitrary HTTP requests to the backend to enable cache poisoning, access control bypass, and request hijacking.

Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit 09312a1, fails to properly validate the Host header during stathost detection, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access the stats page by injecting a matching Host header or bypass detection via port manipulation. Remote attackers can trigger unauthorized access to internal proxy statistics or misroute requests as transparent proxy connections to circumvent access controls.

Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

An integer overflow vulnerability in the HTTP chunked transfer encoding parser in tinyproxy up to and including version 1.11.3 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS). The issue occurs because chunk size values are parsed using strtol without properly validating overflow conditions (e.g., errno == ERANGE).

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Tinyproxy through 1.11.3 is vulnerable to HTTP request parsing desynchronization due to a case-sensitive comparison of the Transfer-Encoding header in src/reqs.c. The ischunkedtransfer function uses strcmp to compare the header value against "chunked", even though RFC 7230 specifies that transfer-coding names are case-insensitive.

tinyproxy HTTP proxy 1.5.0, 1.4.3, and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via memory that is freed twice (double-free).

Integer Overflow
