Synopsis

The remote host contains an unsupported version of a caching proxy server.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the installation of Squid running on the remote host is no longer supported.

Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities.

Solution

Upgrade to a version of Squid that is currently supported.
