http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-18676
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to improper input validation Squid is vulnerable to security
bypass attacks. Attacker can gain access to restricted HTTP
servers.
Due to incorrect input validation Squid is vulnerable to a buffer
overflow which can result in Denial of Service to all clients
using the proxy.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
Any remote client may access resources which should be restricted
and not available to them. Such as those protected behind client
IP ACLs. Attacker could also gain access to manager services when
Via header is turned off.
Any remote client can perform a Denial of Service on all other
clients using the proxy.
__________________________________________________________________
Updated Packages:
These bugs are fixed by Squid version 4.9.
In addition, a patch addressing this problem for stable releases
can be found in our patch archives:
Squid 4:
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/changesets/squid-4-fbbdf75efd7a5cc244b4886a9d42ea458c5a3a73.patch>
If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer
to the package vendor for availability information on updated
packages.
__________________________________________________________________
Determining if your version is vulnerable:
Use the command 'squid -v' to view version and build details of
your proxy;
All Squid 2.x have not been checked.
All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.5.28 are vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.8 are vulnerable.
__________________________________________________________________
Workaround:
Access to manager services can be prevented by enabling the Via
header:
via on
There are no reliable workarounds to prevent access to restricted
upstream servers.
There are no workarounds for the Denial of Service issue.
