<bug_not_affected>Perhaps Finjan VItal Security or other proxy solutions</bug_not_affected>
<bug_vulnerability_class>Weak Authentication</bug_vulnerability_class>
<bug_description>The target system is running Finjan SurfinGate, a commercial proxy solution. It is possible to use this proxy and force it to connect to itself,to then issue administrative commands to this service. An attacker may use this flaw to force this proxy to restart continuously, although other administrative commands might be executable.</bug_description>
<bug_solution>Upgrade to the latest software version which is not vulnerable anymore. Limit unwanted connections to the ControlPort 3141 with firewalling.</bug_solution>
