  <background>
    <p>
    JunkBuster is a filtering HTTP proxy, designed to enhance privacy and
    remove unwanted content.

  <description>
    <p>
    James Ranson reported a vulnerability when JunkBuster is configured to
    run in single-threaded mode, an attacker can modify the referrer
    setting by getting a victim to request a specially crafted URL
    (CAN-2005-1108). Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team
    identified a heap corruption issue in the filtering of URLs
    (CAN-2005-1109).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    If JunkBuster has been configured to run in single-threaded mode, an
    attacker can disable or modify the filtering of Referrer: HTTP headers,
    potentially compromising the privacy of users. The heap corruption
    vulnerability could crash or disrupt the operation of the proxy,
    potentially executing arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All JunkBuster users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-proxy/junkbuster-2.0.2-r3"</code>
  </resolution>
