Debian DSA-651-1 : squid - buffer overflow, integer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 16235

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the internet object cache, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

 - CAN-2005-0094 'infamous41md' discovered a buffer overflow in the parser for Gopher responses which will lead to memory corruption and usually crash Squid.

 - CAN-2005-0095

 'infamous41md' discovered an integer overflow in the receiver of WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) messages. An attacker could send a specially crafted UDP datagram that will cause Squid to crash.

Solution

Upgrade the squid package.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.6-2woody5.
