FreeBSD : squid -- no sanity check of usernames in squid_ldap_auth (7a921e9e-68b1-11d9-9e1e-c296ac722cb3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18994

Synopsis

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

Description

The LDAP authentication helper did not strip leading or trailing spaces from the login name. According to the squid patches page :

LDAP is very forgiving about spaces in search filters and this could be abused to log in using several variants of the login name, possibly bypassing explicit access controls or confusing accounting.

Workaround: Block logins with spaces

acl login_with_spaces proxy_auth_regex [:space:] http_access deny login_with_spaces

Solution

Update the affected package.
