Description:
Michael Adams has reported a vulnerability in dsocks, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is due to a boundary error in the "_tor_resolve()" function in dsocks.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when resolving an overly long host name (e.g. supplied by a malicious website when using dsocks with a browser).
Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary code execution.
