Conectiva alert CLA-2004:882 (squid)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : squid SUMMARY : Fixes for squid vulnerabilities DATE : 2004-11-03 10:48:00 ID : CLA-2004:882 RELEVANT RELEASES : 9, 10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Squid[1] is a full-featured web proxy cache. This announcement fixes a denial of service vulnerability[2] in squid caused by a malformed NTLMSSP packet. This causes a negative value to be passed to memcpy on servers with NTLM authentication enabled, making squid abort and causing a denial of service condition. Fixes for two segmentation faults were also included: when using a blank user name in digest authentication[3] and after the message "Likely proxy abuse detected" has been printed to cache.log[4]. Also fixes a denial of service situation[5] caused by certain malformed SNMP requests that when received by squid could restart it with a segmentation fault error. For Conectiva Linux 9, this announcement also fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability[6] in the ntlm_check_auth (NTLM authentication) function that allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long password. SOLUTION It is recommended that all squid users upgrade to the latest packages. This update will automatically restart the service if it is already running.
