Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-08 17:50:21 UTC 
Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Squid Web
Proxy Cache could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Squid Web Proxy Cache supports Basic, Digest and NTLM authentication.
The vulnerability specifically exists within the NTLM authentication
helper routine, ntlm_check_auth(), located in
helpers/ntlm_auth/SMB/libntlmssp.c:

[...]

iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in
Squid-Proxy 2.5.*-STABLE and 3.*-PRE when Squid-Proxy is compiled with
the NTLM helper enabled.

I think the default is not to use NTLM auth cache helper so I rated this as C1 rather than B1.

Andrew: could you apply the patch provided at :
http://www.squid-cache.org/~wessels/patch/libntlmssp.c.patch
and bump to 2.5.5-r2 ?

Please also confirm if default configuration files shipped in Gentoo enable the NTLM auth cache helper or not...

Thanks !

Right, it's compiled in, but not enabled by default.
