CVE-2012-5580 low priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (libproxy), 7 status rows across 7 suites (hardy, lucid, oneiric, precise, quantal, raring, upstream): not-affected 3, ignored 2, DNE 1, released 1.
Format string vulnerability in the print_proxies function in bin/proxy.c in libproxy 0.3.1 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a proxy name, as demonstrated using the http_proxy environment variable or a PAC file.
