EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : squid (EulerOS-SA-2021-1172)

high Nessus Plugin ID 145748

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the squid package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.12 and 5.x before 5.0.3. Due to use of a potentially dangerous function, Squid and the default certificate validation helper are vulnerable to a Denial of Service when opening a TLS connection to an attacker-controlled server for HTTPS. This occurs because unrecognized error values are mapped to NULL, but later code expects that each error value is mapped to a valid error string.(CVE-2020-14058)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected squid package.
