A vulnerability has been discovered in CCProxy, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of "CONNECT" requests sent to the HTTP proxy (listening on TCP port 808 by default). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a "CONNECT" request having an overly long hostname.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.61. Prior versions may also be affected.

Update to version 6.62.
