Alex Masterov has reported a vulnerability in Squid,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people
to cause a DoS.
The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error
in the "sslConnectTimeout()" function after handling
malformed requests. This may be exploited to crash Squid.
CAN-2005-2796
- Malicious users may spoof DNS lookups if the DNS client UDP port (random,
assigned by OS at startup) is unfiltered and your network is not protected
from IP spoofing.
- CVE-1999-0710, adds access controls to the cachemgr.cgi script, preventing
it from being abused to reach other servers than allowed in a local
configuration file.
Fixes 2 major issues over STABLE7 + the previous round of patches..
- Data corruption when HTTP reply headers is split in several packets
- Assertion failure on certain odd DNS responses
add most of the latest distribution patches which include 4 security
fixes.
-Correct handling of oversized reply headers
-Buffer overflow in WCCP recvfrom() call
-Strengthen Squid from HTTP response splitting cache pollution attack
-Reject malformed HTTP requests and responses that conflict with the HTTP specifications
A bug exists in the code that parses responses from Gopher servers.
The bug results in a buffer overflow if a Gopher server returns a
line longer than 4096 bytes. The overflow results in memory
corruption and usually crashes Squid.
CAN-2005-0094
A bug exists in the code that parses WCCP messages. An attacker
that sends a malformed WCCP messages, with a spoofed source address
matching Squid's "home router" can crash Squid.
CAN-2005-0095
A parsing error exists in the SNMP module of Squid where a
specially-crafted UDP packet can potentially cause the server to
restart, closing all current connections.
- add snmp FLAVOR from Joel CARNAT <joel at carnat dot net>
- add some auth types and auth/acl helpers
- add NTLM auth SMB patch even though the default port does NOT compile this support in
i386-unknown-freebsd3.5 when I'm actually on a powerpc-unknown-openbsd3.0
system, turns out there is a stale auto-generated autoconf.h in the
distfile.
squid-2.3.stable4-carp-assertion.patch
Comparing floating point numbers for equality is tricky. The old way can cause an assertion even though two numbers actually do add up to 1
