Inktomi Traffic Server is a transparent web caching application. It is designed for use with Unix and Linux variants as well as Microsoft Windows operating environments.
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in the Inktomi Traffic Server. The vulnerability occurs in the traffic_manager binary included with Inktomi Traffic Server.
