Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference via the httpProcessInput process. An attacker can cause the server to crash by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that trigger null pointer dereferences in the CONNECT and GET proxy handling paths. This is only exploitable if both httpd and proxy features are enabled.
