Description Josh Bressers 2005-02-01 16:37:10 UTC 
*** This bug has been split off bug 146777 ***

------- Original comment by Josh Bressers (Security Response Team) on 2005.02.01

The length argument of the WCCP recvfrom() call is larger than it should be. An
attacker may send a larger-than-normal WCCP packet and overflow a buffer.
