Description Josh Bressers 2005-08-22 19:59:39 UTC

Squid Web Proxy Cache 2.5 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive
information via URLs containing invalid hostnames that cause DNS operations to
fail, which results in references to previously used error messages.


This issue was fixed in squid-2.5.STABLE8

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2005-08-22 20:01:10 UTC

This issue should also affect RHEL2.1 and RHEL3

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2005-08-25 08:39:56 UTC

I'm going to add it to U7...

This issue is not terribly important.  Unless I'm mistaken, there really
isn't any useful information that can be gathered using this error.  If you
want to slate this for U7 I'm all for it.
