CVE-2005-3654
WinProxy before 6.1a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of packets with 0xFF characters to the Telnet port (TCP 23), which corrupts the heap.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
