Subject: SQUID-2018:2 Denial of Service issue in HTTP Message processing
Notes for OSS-Security people:
* CVE has been requested through DWF, waiting on assignment.
* The patch for Squid-3.5 should also be applicable for most other
Squid-3.x releases.
* The patch for Squid-4 is provided for anyone having to use older betas
if any unrelated issues prevent an upgrade. This being a beta release
series at present the preferred option is upgrade.

Advisory ID: SQUID-2018:2
Date: Jan 19, 2018
Summary: Denial of Service issue
in HTTP Message processing.

Squid 4.x -> 4.0.22
Fixed in version: Squid 4.0.23

__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to incorrect pointer handling Squid is vulnerable to denial
of service attack when processing ESI responses or downloading
intermediate CA certificates.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
This problem allows a remote client delivering certain HTTP
requests in conjunction with certain trusted server responses to
trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid
service.
__________________________________________________________________
Updated Packages:
This bug is fixed by Squid version 4.0.23.
In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable
releases can be found in our patch archives:
Squid 3.5:
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.5/changesets/SQUID-2018_2.patch>
Squid 4:
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/changesets/SQUID-2018_2.patch>
If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer
to the package vendor for availability information on updated
packages.
__________________________________________________________________
Determining if your version is vulnerable:
All Squid configured with "log_uses_indirect_client off" are not
vulnerable.
All Squid-3.0 versions built with --enable-esi and being used for
reverse-proxy with squid.conf containing
"log_uses_indirect_client on" are vulnerable.
All Squid-3.1 and later versions up to and including
Squid-3.5.27 being used for reverse-proxy with squid.conf
containing "log_uses_indirect_client on" are vulnerable.
All Squid-4 up to and including Squid-4.0.22 being used for
reverse-proxy with squid.conf containing
"log_uses_indirect_client on" are vulnerable.
All unpatched Squid-4 up to and including Squid-4.0.22 being
used for TLS/HTTPS intercept proxy with squid.conf containing
"log_uses_indirect_client on" are vulnerable.
__________________________________________________________________
Workarounds:
Configure "log_uses_indirect_client off" in squid.conf
