Squid 3.5.x < 3.5.17 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9775

Synopsis

The remote proxy server is affected by multiple attack vectors.

Description

Versions of Squid 3.5.x prior to 3.5.17 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw in 'esi/Esi.cc' is triggered as input is not properly validated when handling ESI responses. This may allow a remote attacker to disclose the server stack layout.
- An overflow condition in 'esi/Esi.cc' is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling ESI responses. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
- An assertion flaw in 'esi/Esi.cc' is triggered as input is not properly validated when handling ESI responses. This may allow a remote attacker to terminate the service.
- An overflow condition is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when processing the length of content lines in reports by the 'cachemgr.cgi' tool. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Either upgrade to Squid version 3.5.17 or later, or apply the vendor-supplied patch.
