Socks5 is the freely available, open source proxy implementation developed by NEC. It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft operating environments. Socks5 handles user names in an unsafe manner. A boundary condition error in the software package may make it possible for users to send user names of 132 bytes or greater, and cause memory corruption. This could result in denial of service, and potentially code execution.
