Summary

Tinyproxy 1.8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via (1) a large number of headers or (2) a large number of forged headers that trigger hash collisions predictably. bucket.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
