Squid security advisory 2016:3 reports :

Due to a buffer overrun Squid pinger binary is vulnerable to denial of service or information leak attack when processing ICMPv6 packets.

This bug also permits the server response to manipulate other ICMP and ICMPv6 queries processing to cause information leak.

This bug allows any remote server to perform a denial of service attack on the Squid service by crashing the pinger. This may affect Squid HTTP routing decisions. In some configurations, sub-optimal routing decisions may result in serious service degradation or even transaction failures.

If the system does not contain buffer-overrun protection leading to that crash this bug will instead allow attackers to leak arbitrary amounts of information from the heap into Squid log files. This is of higher importance than usual because the pinger process operates with root priviliges.

Squid security advisory 2016:4 reports :

Due to incorrect bounds checking Squid is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing HTTP responses.

This problem allows a malicious client script and remote server delivering certain unusual HTTP response syntax to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2995-1 advisory.

    Yuriy M. Kaminskiy discovered that the Squid pinger utility incorrectly handled certain ICMPv6 packets. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly cause Squid to leak information into log files. (CVE-2016-3947)

    Yuriy M. Kaminskiy discovered that the Squid cachemgr.cgi tool incorrectly handled certain crafted data. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4051)

    It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain Edge Side Includes (ESI) responses. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4052, CVE-2016-4053, CVE-2016-4054)

    Jianjun Chen discovered that Squid did not correctly ignore the Host header when absolute-URI is provided.
    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct cache-poisoning attacks. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.10 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-4553)

    Jianjun Chen discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain HTTP Host headers. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to conduct cache-poisoning attacks. (CVE-2016-4554)

    It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain Edge Side Includes (ESI) responses. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-4555, CVE-2016-4556)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201607-01 (Squid: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker can possibly execute arbitrary code or create a Denial of       Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Squid 3.5.x prior to 3.5.15 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw is triggered when performing improper bounds checks on specially crafted HTTP responses. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. 
 - A flaw is triggered as bounds are not properly checked when processing HTTP responses. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service for all clients accessing the service.
 - An overflow condition exists in the 'Icmp6::Recv()' function in 'icmp/Icmp6.cc' of the pinger binary. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling specially crafted ICMPv6 packets. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, crashing the pinger process or potentially leaking data into log files.

The specific version of Squid that the system is running is reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- Squid contains an overflow condition in the Icmp6::Recv() function in icmp/Icmp6.cc of the pinger binary. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling specially crafted ICMPv6 packets. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, crashing the pinger process or potentially leaking data into log files. (CVE-2016-3947)

- Squid contains a flaw that is triggered as bounds are not properly checked when processing HTTP responses. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service for all clients accessing the service. (CVE-2016-3948)
