Subject: CVE request: Squid HTTP Caching Proxy 3.5.13, 4.0.4, 4.0.5 denial of
service
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
A remotely triggerable denial of service has been found in Squid
proxy. The proxy incorrectly handles server TLS failure which almost
always results in crashing the entire proxy. Denying service for all
other clients using it.
Our Advisory will be at:
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2016_1.txt>
"
This problem allows any trusted client to perform a denial of
service attack on the Squid service regardless of whether TLS or
SSL is configured for use in the proxy.
Misconfigured client or server software may trigger this issue
to perform a denial of service unintentionally.
However, the bug is exploitable only if Squid is built using the
--with-openssl option.
"
Versions 3.5.13, 4.0.4 and 4.0.5 are affected.
Patch for 3.5 is
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.5/changesets/squid-3.5-13981.p
atch>.
Patch for 4.0 is
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.5/changesets/squid-3.5-13981.p
atch>.
Though as a beta release we would prefer people update straight to the
new package.
