Amazon Linux 2 : squid (ALAS-2023-2066)

high Nessus Plugin ID 176678

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of squid installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.20-17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2066 advisory.

Incorrect HTTP Request header comparison in Squid HTTP Proxy 3.5.0.1 through 3.5.22, and 4.0.1 through 4.0.16 results in Collapsed Forwarding feature mistakenly identifying some private responses as being suitable for delivery to multiple clients. (CVE-2016-10003)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update squid' to update your system.
