Detail

It was discovered that malformed cache update replies against the Squid WWW proxy cache could lead to the exhaustion of system memory, resulting in potential denial of service.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.5-6etch1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), the update cannot currently be processed on the buildd security network due to a bug in the archive management script. This will be resolved soon. An update for i386 is temporarily available at at http://people.debian.org/~jmm/squid/.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.

Title: DSA-1646-2 squid - array bounds check
Description: A weakness has been discovered in squid, a caching proxy server. The flaw was introduced upstream in response to <a href="http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2007-6239">CVE-2007-6239</a>, and announced by Debian in <a href="dsa-1482">DSA-1482-1</a>. The flaw involves an over-aggressive bounds check on an array resize, and could be exploited by an authorised client to induce a denial of service condition against squid.
