NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200411-07.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-07 (Proxytunnel: Format string vulnerability) Florian Schilhabel of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit project found a format string vulnerability in Proxytunnel. When the program is started in daemon mode (-a [port]), it improperly logs invalid proxy answers to syslog. Impact : A malicious remote server could send specially crafted invalid answers to exploit the format string vulnerability, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code on the tunnelling host with the rights of the Proxytunnel process. Workaround : You can mitigate the issue by only allowing connections to trusted remote servers. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15612 published 2004-11-03 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15612 title GLSA-200411-07 : Proxytunnel: Format string vulnerability
