libproxy CVE-2012-4505 Heap-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

libproxy is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this vulnerability can allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
