Description Sam Fowler 2018-01-22 00:32:15 EST
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 HTTP messages or downloading intermediate CA certificates. This problem allows a remote client delivering certain HTTP requests in conjunction with certain trusted server responses to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service.

Comment 2 Stefan Cornelius 2018-05-24 07:24:21 EDT
Mitigation:

A workaround for this issue is to set the "log_uses_indirect_client off" configuration directive in the squid configuration file (for example /etc/squid/squid.conf).
