    Package        : squid     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-46724 CVE-2023-46846 CVE-2023-46847 CVE-2023-49285                      CVE-2023-49286 CVE-2023-50269 CVE-2024-23638 CVE-2024-25617                      CVE-2023-46848 CVE-2024-25111     Debian Bug     : 1055252 1054537 1055250 1055251 1058721

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, a full featured     web proxy cache. Due to programming errors in Squid's HTTP request parsing,     remote attackers may be able to execute a denial of service attack by sending     large X-Forwarded-For header or trigger a stack buffer overflow while     performing HTTP Digest authentication. Other issues facilitate request     smuggling past a firewall or a denial of service against Squid's Helper process     management.

    In regard to CVE-2023-46728: Please note that support for the Gopher protocol     has simply been removed in future Squid versions. There are no plans by the     upstream developers of Squid to fix this issue. We recommend to reject all     Gopher URL requests instead.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 4.13-10+deb11u3.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 5.7-2+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.

    For the detailed security status of squid please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/squid
