"The remote host is running a version of Computalynx's CProxy Server
that suffers from the following vulnerabilities:

  - Arbitrary Local File Access
    CProxy allows an attacker to retrieve arbitrary local files
    by issuing an HTTP request with directory traversal sequences
    relative to a subdirectory under CProxy's cache/intracache
    directory. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive 
    information.

  - Denial of Service Vulnerability
    An attacker may crash the proxy while requesting arbitrary
    local files, either by requesting an executable file or by
    using a GET (as opposed to HEAD or POST) request." );
