According to its self-reported version number, the version of Privoxy running on the remote host is prior to 3.0.23. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  • A flaw exists in the chunked_body_is_complete() function in ‘jcc.c’ due to improper processing of invalid chunk-encoded bodies. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted client request, can cause the Privoxy instance to abort. (CVE-2015-1380)

  • Multiple flaws exist in the pcrs_compile_replacement() function in ‘pcrs.c’ when handling backreferences.
    Remote attackers can exploit these flaws to cause a segmentation fault or memory consumption.
    (CVE-2015-1381)

  • An invalid read flaw in ‘parsers.c’ allows a remote attacker, via an HTTP request with a specially-crafted time header, to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2015-1382)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
