Detail

Problem Description:

An updated squid package that fixes a security vulnerability is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Squid processed the TRACE request method. It was possible for an attacker behind the Squid proxy to issue a malformed TRACE request, crashing the Squid daemon child process. As long as these requests were sent, it would prevent legitimate usage of the proxy server. (CVE-2007-1560)

This flaw does not affect the version of Squid shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 4.

Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
