tinyproxy Integer Overflow in HTTP Chunked Transfer-Encoding Parser Leading to Denial of Service

Type: advisorySources: OSV

An integer overflow vulnerability in the HTTP chunked transfer encoding parser in tinyproxy up to and including version 1.11.3 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS). The issue occurs because chunk size values are parsed using strtol without properly validating overflow conditions (e.g., errno == ERANGE).
