Rocky Linux 9 : squid (RLSA-2022:6839)

high Nessus Plugin ID 184752

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:6839 advisory.

 - A buffer over-read was discovered in libntlmauth in Squid 2.5 through 5.6. Due to incorrect integer- overflow protection, the SSPI and SMB authentication helpers are vulnerable to reading unintended memory locations. In some configurations, cleartext credentials from these locations are sent to a client. This is fixed in 5.7. (CVE-2022-41318)

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

Solution

Update the affected squid, squid-debuginfo and / or squid-debugsource packages.
