The FreeProxy HTTP proxy server suffers from a denial of service condition which causes the server to hang. This occurs when an attacker makes a request for the hostname/portnumber combination in use by the server itself. The vendor was notified on the 10th January 2007 and a fix was made available on the 24th. Full details can be found in the attached advisory. -- Tim Brown <mailto:timb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://www.nth-dimension.org.uk/>
