Debian DSA-828-1 : squid - authentication handling

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19797

Synopsis

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

Description

Upstream developers of squid, the popular WWW proxy cache, have discovered that changes in the authentication scheme are not handled properly when given certain request sequences while NTLM authentication is in place, which may cause the daemon to restart.

Solution

Upgrade the squid packages.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.9-10sarge2.
