Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202012-11

Severity: Low
Date : 2020-12-05
CVE-ID : CVE-2020-25219
Package : libproxy-mozjs
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1226

Summary

The package libproxy-mozjs before version 0.4.16-1 is vulnerable to
denial of service.

Resolution

Upgrade to 0.4.16-1.

pacman -Syu “libproxy-mozjs>=0.4.16-1”

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 0.4.16.

Workaround

None.

Description

url::recvline in url.cpp in libproxy 0.4.x through 0.4.15 allows a
remote HTTP PAC server to trigger uncontrolled recursion via a response
composed of an infinite stream that lacks a newline character. This
leads to stack exhaustion.

Impact

A remote HTTP PAC server might be able to crash an application via a
crafted response.
