Synopsis

The remote proxy server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of Squid running on the remote host is 2.x prior to 4.13 or 5.x prior to 5.0.4. It is,therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - An input-validation flaw exists related to handling HTTP and HTTPS traffic that allows HTTP request splitting leading to cache poisoning. (CVE-2020-15810)

 - An input-validation flaw exists related to handling HTTP and HTTPS traffic that allows HTTP request smuggling leading to cache poisoning. (CVE-2020-15811)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Squid version 4.13 or 5.0.4 or later.
