SocksCap Hostname Resolution Stack Overflow

[newsbot]

SocksCap (http://www.beaglesoft.com/clwaproxysockscap.htm) is "an application wrapper developed by NEC. SocksCap allows Windows 95/98/NT users to enable their Winsock applications to traverse a SOCKS server. SocksCap does not require modifications to the Winsock applications or the Winsock stacks. On a SOCKS enabled firewall SocksCap offers a client-only solution". A vulnerability within SocksCap allows attacker to cause the program to overflow an internal buffer used by the hostname resolution mechanism.
