Description : The remote host appears to be running WinGate Proxy Server, a Windows application for managing and securing Internet access. According to its banner, the version of WinGate installed on the remote host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability in its HTTP proxy service. A possible hacker with access to use the proxy may be able to exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host.
