Description Sam Fowler 2018-01-22 05:19:02 UTC 
Due to incorrect pointer handling, Squid versions 3.x (prior to 3.5.27) and 4.x (prior to 4.0.23) are vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing ESI responses. This problem allows a remote server delivering certain ESI response syntax to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service.

Comment 1 Sam Fowler 2018-01-22 05:19:36 UTC 
Created squid tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1536940]
Comment 3 Stefan Cornelius 2018-05-24 11:24:23 UTC 
Mitigation:

A workaround for this issue is to not use the internal ESI parser, which can be achieved by adding either the "esi_parser expat" or "esi_parser libxml2" configuration directive to the squid configuration file (for example /etc/squid/squid.conf).
