Few notes on the original problem and its mitigation: - cachemgr.cgi is included in the main squid package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, hence it is installed whenever squid package is installed. - cachemgr.cgi is only exposed if httpd is also installed and running. The squid package does not require httpd, so proxy server can run with only squid service running, but httpd service disabled or not installed. - default configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/squid.conf only allow clients form localhost.localdomain to send request to the cachemgr.cgi CGI application. This problem is only exposed to remote hosts/attackers if this default configuration is changed. This problem can be mitigated by not running httpd service, blocking access to the cachemgr.cgi if it's not used, or limiting access to only trusted sources. Statement: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is now in Production 3 Phase of the support and maintenance life cycle. This has been rated as having Moderate security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates.
