Sun Java System Web Proxy Server SOCKS module buffer overflow
| sun-java-web-socks-bo (34524) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Web Proxy Server is vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows, caused by improper bounds checking by the SOCKS module. By sending specially-crafted packets to the SOCKS server, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges or cause the server to crash.

- HP, HP-UX 11.00
- IBM, AIX 4.3.3
- Microsoft, Windows 2000 SP4 Server
- Microsoft, Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
- RedHat, Linux 2.1
- RedHat, Linux 3.0
- Sun, Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0
- Sun, Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0 SP1
- Sun, Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.2
