Bug 104603 – net-proxy/squid: "sslConnectTimeout()" Denial of Service Vulnerability

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jean-François Brunette (RETIRED) 2005-09-02 08:01:39 UTC]

Alex Masterov has reported a vulnerability in Squid, which potentially can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the
"sslConnectTimeout()" function after handling malformed requests. This may be
exploited to crash Squid.

Solution:
Apply patch for 2.5.STABLE10:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versi...STABLE10-sslConnectTimeout.patch

All security supported arches stable, ready for GLSA vote. I tend to say yes
because we've released other GLSAs for remote DoS for squid before but i
wouldn't mind about no GLSA, though.
