    HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SOCKS and POP3 support.

  <description>
    <p>
    3proxy contains a double free vulnerability in the ftpprchild()
    function, which frees param->hostname and calls the parsehostname()
    function, which in turn attempts to free param->hostname again.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the proxy,
    possibly resulting in a Denial of Service. Under typical configuration,
    the scope of this vulnerability is limited to the local network.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All 3proxy users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-proxy/3proxy-0.5.3j&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
