Description Adam Mariš 2018-04-19 05:22:08 EDT
Due to incorrect pointer handling Squid is vulnerable to denial of service attack when processing ESI responses. This problem allows a remote server delivering ESI responses to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service. This problem is limited to Squid operating as reverse proxy.

Affected versions: Squid 3.1.12.2 -> 3.1.23, Squid 3.2.0.8 -> 3.2.14, Squid 3.3 -> 4.0.12

Fixed in version: Squid 4.0.13
