Fedora 10 Update: squid-3.0.STABLE18-1.fc10
Summary
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System
lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data
(ftpget), and some management and client tools.
Update Information:
Fixes several denial of service issues which could allow an attacker to stop the Squid service. CVE-2009-2621, CVE-2009-2622
