Synopsis

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

Description

Matthew Daley discovered that squid, a web proxy cache, does not properly perform input validation when parsing requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to mount a denial of service attack, by sending specially crafted Range requests.

Solution

Upgrade the squid packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.STABLE9-4.1+deb7u1.
