The version of squid installed on the remote host is prior to 4.15-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2SQUID4-2023-004 advisory.

  - Squid through 4.14 and 5.x through 5.0.5, in some configurations, allows information disclosure because of     an out-of-bounds read in WCCP protocol data. This can be leveraged as part of a chain for remote code     execution as nobody. (CVE-2021-28116)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to a buffer-management bug, it     allows a denial of service. When resolving a request with the urn: scheme, the parser leaks a small amount     of memory. However, there is an unspecified attack methodology that can easily trigger a large amount of     memory consumption. (CVE-2021-28651)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to incorrect parser validation, it     allows a Denial of Service attack against the Cache Manager API. This allows a trusted client to trigger     memory leaks that. over time, lead to a Denial of Service via an unspecified short query string. This     attack is limited to clients with Cache Manager API access privilege. (CVE-2021-28652)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid 4.x before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. If a remote server sends a certain     response header over HTTP or HTTPS, there is a denial of service. This header can plausibly occur in     benign network traffic. (CVE-2021-28662)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to a memory-management bug, it is     vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy) via HTTP Range request     processing. (CVE-2021-31806)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. An integer overflow problem allows a     remote server to achieve Denial of Service when delivering responses to HTTP Range requests. The issue     trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent.
    (CVE-2021-31807)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to an input-validation bug, it is     vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy). A client sends an HTTP     Range request to trigger this. (CVE-2021-31808)

  - Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (affecting     availability to all clients) via an HTTP response. The issue trigger is a header that can be expected to     exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the server. (CVE-2021-33620)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the squid package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x     before 5.0.6. Due to incorrect parser validation, it     allows a Denial of Service attack against the Cache     Manager API. This allows a trusted client to trigger     memory leaks that. over time, lead to a Denial of     Service via an unspecified short query string. This     attack is limited to clients with Cache Manager API     access privilege.(CVE-2021-28652)

  - Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6 allows remote     servers to cause a denial of service (affecting     availability to all clients) via an HTTP response. The     issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist     in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the     server.(CVE-2021-33620)
