medium Nessus Plugin ID 202973
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.Description
According to the versions of the squid package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Due to an expired pointer reference bug, Squid prior to version 6.6 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against Cache Manager error responses. This problem allows a trusted client to perform Denial of Service when generating error pages for Client Manager reports. Squid older than 5.0.5 have not been tested and should be assumed to be vulnerable. All Squid-5.x up to and including 5.9 are vulnerable. All Squid-6.x up to and including 6.5 are vulnerable. This bug is fixed by Squid version 6.6. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable releases can be found in Squid's patch archives. As a workaround, prevent access to Cache Manager using Squid's main access control: `http_access deny manager`.(CVE-2024-23638)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS squid security advisory.
