3. Problem description:

Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Gopher relay parser. This bug
could allow a remote Gopher server to crash the Squid proxy that reads data
from it. Although Gopher servers are now quite rare, a malicious web page
(for example) could redirect or contain a frame pointing to an attacker's
malicious gopher server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0094 to this issue.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the WCCP message parser. It is
possible to crash the Squid server if an attacker is able to send a
malformed WCCP message with a spoofed source address matching Squid's
"home router". The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0095 to this issue.

A memory leak was found in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper. It is possible
that an attacker could place the Squid server under high load, causing the
NTML fakeauth_auth helper to consume a large amount of memory, resulting in
a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0096 to this issue.

A NULL pointer de-reference bug was found in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper.
It is possible for an attacker to send a malformed NTLM type 3 message,
causing the Squid server to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0097 to
this issue.

A username validation bug was found in squid_ldap_auth. It is possible for
a username to be padded with spaces, which could allow a user to bypass
explicit access control rules or confuse accounting. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-0173 to this issue.

The way Squid handles HTTP responses was found to need strengthening. It is
possible that a malicious web server could send a series of HTTP responses
in such a way that the Squid cache could be poisoned, presenting users with
incorrect webpages. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2005-0174 and CAN-2005-0175 to
these issues.

A bug was found in the way Squid handled oversized HTTP response headers.
It is possible that a malicious web server could send a specially crafted
HTTP header which could cause the Squid cache to be poisoned, presenting
users with incorrect webpages.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0241 to this issue.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the WCCP message parser. It is possible
that an attacker could send a malformed WCCP message which could crash the
Squid server or execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0211
to this issue.

Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains
backported patches, and is not vulnerable to these issues.
