Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2021-05-19 15:10:31 UTC 
Due to an incorrect parser validation bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against the Cache Manager API. This problem allows a trusted client to trigger memory leaks which over time lead to a Denial of Service against Squid and the machine it is operating on. This attack is limited to clients with Cache Manager API access privilege.
