Synopsis

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

Description

Matthew Daley discovered that Squid3, a fully featured web proxy cache, did not properly perform input validation in request parsing. A remote attacker could use this flaw to mount a denial of service by sending crafted Range requests.

Solution

Upgrade the squid3 packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.20-2.2+deb7u2.
