Description

Tinyproxy versions through 1.11.3 have an access control bypass vulnerability in the acl_string_processing() function. The flaw arises because the function compares only trailing hostname characters without verifying DNS label boundaries. This allows attackers who control the PTR record for their source IP to bypass deny-by-default ACLs by matching allowed hostnames incorrectly.
