Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pound, a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2005-1391 :
Overly long HTTP Host: headers may trigger a buffer overflow in the add_port() function, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2005-3751 :
HTTP requests with conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers could lead to HTTP Request Smuggling Attack, which can be exploited to bypass packet filters or poison web caches.
