Socks5 is the freely available, open source proxy implementation developed by NEC. It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft operating environments. Socks5 handles host names in an unsafe manner. An off-by-one error in the software package may make it possible for users to send host names of 256 bytes and cause memory corruption. Exploitation of this condition may cause a denial of service or potentially allow for code execution.
