libproxy is vulnerable to denial of service. A heap-based buffer overflow in the px_pac_reload function in lib/pac.c when downloading proxy auto-configuration (PAC) files allows a remote attacker to crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary code by hosting a server that serves a malicious PAC file or serving the malicious PAC file in a man-in-the-midle attack.
