GLSA-200502-04 : Squid: Multiple vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 16441

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-04 (Squid: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Squid contains several vulnerabilities:
 Buffer overflow when handling WCCP recvfrom() (CAN-2005-0211).
 Loose checking of HTTP headers (CAN-2005-0173 and CAN-2005-0174).
 Incorrect handling of LDAP login names with spaces (CAN-2005-0175).
 Impact :

 An attacker could exploit:
 the WCCP buffer overflow to cause Denial of Service.
 the HTTP header parsing vulnerabilities to inject arbitrary response data, potentially leading to content spoofing, web cache poisoning and other cross-site scripting or HTTP response splitting attacks.
 the LDAP issue to login with several variations of the same login name, leading to log poisoning.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Squid users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r5'
