<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-14058>
<https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/security/advisories/GHSA-qvf6-485q-vm57>
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to use of a potentially dangerous function Squid and the
default certificate validation helper are vulnerable to a Denial
of Service attack when processing TLS certificates.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
This problem allows a trusted client to perform Denial of Service
when opening TLS connections with a server for HTTPS.
This problem allows a trusted client to perform Denial of Service
when opening TLS connections to a server for SSL-Bump intercepted
transactions.
This attack is limited to Squid built with OpenSSL features and
opening peer or server connections for HTTPS traffic and SSL-Bump
server handshakes.
CVSS Score of 8.3

__________________________________________________________________
Determining if your version is vulnerable:
All Squid-2.x up to and including 2.7.STABLE9 are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built without
--enable-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built with
--disable-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built with
--enable-openssl are vulnerable.
All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built without
--with-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built with
--without-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built with
--with-openssl are vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built without
--with-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built with
--without-openssl are not vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built with --with-openssl
are vulnerable.
Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built without --with-openssl are not
vulnerable.
Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built with --without-openssl are not
vulnerable.
Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built with --with-openssl are vulnerable.
__________________________________________________________________
Workaround:
* For interception proxies using SSL-Bump functionality there is
no workaround.
* For reverse-proxy the GnuTLS support available in Squid-4 may
provide sufficient functionality. The vulnerable certificate
validator helper feature is not supported yet by GnuTLS builds.
* Other installations just needing to relay HTTPS do not need
OpenSSL support and should be able to run a build that does not
have --with-openssl.
