Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache.

A bug was found in the way Squid displays error messages. A remote attacker could submit a request containing an invalid hostname which would result in Squid displaying a previously used error message. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-2479 to this issue.

Two denial of service bugs were found in the way Squid handles malformed requests. A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted request to Squid that would cause the server to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2005-2794 and CAN-2005-2796 to these issues.

Please note that CAN-2005-2796 does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1

Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package that contains backported patches, and is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

12282 Squid Malformed Host Name Error Message Information Disclosure

Squid contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a sequence of failed DNS lookups causes contents of recently freed memory to be displayed as error messages, which will disclose random information resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
