Package : squid Version : 4.6-1+deb10u10 CVE ID : CVE-2023-46846 Debian Bug : 1060857

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2023-46846 was incomplete. In some cases Squid, a full featured web proxy cache, returned empty responses for URLs when Transfer-Encoding: chunked was in use.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 4.6-1+deb10u10.
