Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Polipo, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error when handling POST requests that were aborted by the server. This can be exploited to e.g. crash the Polipo service by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious server.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.0.2.
Note: This also fixes a crash when handling entities larger than 2 GB.
