Adzapper · Adzapper · CVE-2006-0046
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
adzapper versions prior to 2006-01-29
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, by exploiting the squid redirect script in adzapper. This can be achieved by sending a URL with a large number of trailing / (forward slashes), potentially leading to inefficient regular expressions.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2006-01-29, consider updating to a version released after this date to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the squid redirect script to minimize the risk of exploitation.
