Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-1461-01 - libproxy is a library that handles all the details of proxy configuration. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libproxy handled the downloading of proxy auto-configuration files. A malicious server hosting a PAC file or a man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using libproxy to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code, if the proxy settings obtained by libproxy instructed the use of a PAC proxy configuration. This issue was discovered by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
