CVE-2000-0165: The Delegate application proxy has several buffer overflows which allow a remote attacker to execute commands.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2000-0165 describes multiple buffer overflows in the DeleGate application proxy. A remote attacker could execute commands if a vulnerable proxy is reachable. The source bundle does not identify affected versions, CPEs, or a confirmed fixed release, so organizations should treat any legacy DeleGate deployment as requiring urgent verification. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments running the DeleGate application proxy, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete and lists no vendor, versions, or CPEs. Prioritize discovery and containment. Remote command execution in a proxy can create a direct entry point, but uncertainty around affected versions means the first business task is finding any remaining DeleGate exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for DeleGate application proxy installations.; Review referenced advisories for vendor-specific fixed versions or replacement guidance.; Disable or remove DeleGate where it is unnecessary or unsupported..
