NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream privoxy package and not the privoxy package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Memory leak in the rfc2553_connect_to function in jbsocket.c in Privoxy before 3.0.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of requests that are rejected because the socket limit is reached.
