Debian DLA-763-1 : squid3 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96098

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Saulius Lapinskas from Lithuanian State Social Insurance Fund Board discovered that Squid3, a fully featured web proxy cache, does not properly process responses to If-None-Modified HTTP conditional requests, leading to client-specific Cookie data being leaked to other clients. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to discover private and sensitive information about another client's browsing session.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.20-2.2+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
