Exploitation\nrequires that the attacker is able to provide the target server name to the\nPROXY-CONNECT address in the command line. This can happen, for example, in\nscripts that receive data from untrusted sources (CVE-2014-0019).\n","modified":"2026-02-04T03:54:32.446025Z","published":"2014-02-16T12:49:57Z","related":["CVE-2014-0019"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0070.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12469"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/01/28/7"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"socat","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/socat?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.0-0.b7.1.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0070.json"}},{"package":{"name":"socat","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/socat?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.0-0.b7.1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0070.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
