Subject: squid 3.x vulnerabilities

There are some security vulnerabilities in squid 3.x that have been
fixed today:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2009_2.txt

Specifically:

Due to incorrect buffer limits and related bound checks Squid
is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing
specially crafted requests or responses.

Due to incorrect data validation Squid is vulnerable to a denial
of service attack when processing specially crafted responses.

Patches are linked to from the advisory.

No CVE names look to be assigned; can we get some?  I think we probably
need two CVE names here.

Thanks.
