The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - squid: improper access restriction upon Digest Authentication nonce replay could lead to remote code     execution (CVE-2020-11945)

  - squid: Buffer overflow in reverse-proxy configurations (CVE-2020-8450)

  - Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote     endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and     probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web     page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header. (CVE-2009-0801)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The Squid HTTP proxy has been updated to version 3.3.14, fixing the following security issues :

Alex Rousskov of The Measurement Factory discovered that Squid3, a fully featured web proxy cache, does not correctly handle CONNECT method peer responses when configured with cache_peer and operating on explicit proxy traffic. This could allow remote clients to gain unrestricted access through a gateway proxy to its backend proxy.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - squid: buffer overflow in cachemgr.cgi (CVE-2016-4051)

  - Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote     endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and     probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web     page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header. (CVE-2009-0801)

  - Multiple memory leaks in tools/cachemgr.cc in cachemgr.cgi in Squid 2.x and 3.x before 3.1.22, 3.2.x     before 3.2.4, and 3.3.x before 3.3.0.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) via (1) invalid Content-Length headers, (2) long POST requests, or (3) crafted authentication     credentials. (CVE-2012-5643)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

  - Off-by-one error in the snmpHandleUdp function in snmp_core.cc in Squid 2.x and 3.x, when an SNMP port is     configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary     code via a crafted UDP SNMP request, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2014-6270)

  - Squid 3.4.4 through 3.4.11 and 3.5.0.1 through 3.5.1, when Digest authentication is used, allow remote     authenticated users to retain access by leveraging a stale nonce, aka Nonce replay vulnerability.

Squid security advisory 2015:2 reports :

Squid configured with cache_peer and operating on explicit proxy traffic does not correctly handle CONNECT method peer responses.

The bug is important because it allows remote clients to bypass security in an explicit gateway proxy.

However, the bug is exploitable only if you have configured cache_peer to receive CONNECT requests.

Alex Rousskov discovered that Squid configured with cache_peer and operating on explicit proxy traffic does not correctly handle CONNECT method peer responses. In some configurations, it allows remote clients to bypass security in an explicit gateway proxy.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, this problem has been fixed in squid3 version 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze5. We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages.

Versions of Squid 3.x prior to 3.5.6 are potentially affected by by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in file 'tunnel.cc', which is triggered whenever cache peer CONNECT responses are blindly forwarded in a hierarchy of two or more proxies, resulting in unrestricted access to a back-end proxy through its gateway proxy. A remote, unauthenticated attacker, using a specially crafted request, can exploit this vulnerability to bypass authentication or gain access to protected resources. This issue occurs in configurations with cache_peer enabled, and exploitation would require that the two proxies have differing levels of security. (CVE-2015-5400)
 - A flaw in 'ssl/support.cc' that is triggered during the handling of repeated client-initiated TLS renegotation messages. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
