Detail

An incorrect fix for CVE-2007-6239 resulted in Squid not performing proper bounds checking when processing cache update replies. Because of this, a remote authenticated user might have been able to trigger an assertion error and cause a denial of service (CVE-2008-1612).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
