Both major versions have been bumped to 2.7.6 respectively 3.0.13.

Arches please mark net-proxy/squid-2.7.6 as stable (don't touch squid-3 
keywords).

Re-Rating B4 as it's not a "Global service compromise"

Read to vote, I vote YES (because squid is a network accessible service and often used in accelerator setups for HTTP - if I was using squid in a datacenter, I'd really appreciate getting a warning about this issue!)
Comment 13 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-09 14:13:49 UTC
YES too
