Detail

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the internet object cache, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-1999-0710

It is possible to bypass access lists and scan arbitrary hosts and ports in the network through cachemgr.cgi, which is installed by default. This update disables this feature and introduces a configuration file (/etc/squid/cachemgr.conf) to control this behavier.

CAN-2004-0918

The asn_parse_header function (asn1.c) in the SNMP module for Squid allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via certain SNMP packets with negative length fields that causes a memory allocation error.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.6-2woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid package.

Id Description
10675 Squid Web Proxy Cache SNMP Module asn_parse_header() Function Remote DoS

Squid Web Proxy Cache contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to an ASN1 parsing error where certain header length combinations can bypass the validations performed by the ASN1 parser, eventually resulting in loss of availability for the service.
28 Squid cachemgr.cgi Proxied Port Scanning

This host is running the Squid Proxy server 'cachemanager' CGI. The cache manager CGI program, by default, contains no restricts or access permissions. With a malformed request, an intruder can use this script to launch port scans from the server.
