COMMAND
Proxy+ Telnet Gateway
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Proxies
PROBLEM
Andrew Lewis found following. Many admins who use Proxy+configure
the remote administration port (which works over HTTP) to only
accept connections from the localhost. Fortunately enough, the
admin port doesn't allow connections which have been bounced
through the HTTP proxy. The telnet proxy, on the other hand, is
a different story. Oops.
SOLUTION
Enable HTTP Basic authentication instead. And don't trust
localhost only security for anything.
