Problem Description: Due to incorrect bounds checking Squid is vulnerable to a denial of service check during some cache update reply processing. Severity: This problem allows any client trusted to use the service to perform a denial of service attack on the Squid service. Updated Packages: This bug is fixed by Squid version 2.6.STABLE17 and by the November 28 snapshots of Squid-2 and Squid-3. In addition, a patch addressing this problem can be found in our patch archive for version Squid-2.6: http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/changesets/11780.patch And for Squid-3: http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/changesets/11211.patch If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer to the package vendor for availability information on updated packages. Reproducible: Always

Stable for HPPA.
amd64 stable
this one is ready for glsa decision
voting NO since only a trusted client can cause a DoS.
trusted client means any client that can is trusted to use the proxy, which usually is a lot of clients. I vote YES here, even if it is only a memleak in the end. Proxy servers are designed to run for a while, and if one client can make my memory usage grow over time, until the server crashes, someone does have an issue.
i would suggest "Yes" because squid is often used to accellerate http-servers (you can just put a squid in front of you httpd and let it process the requests), and in such installations this vuln does matter because anyone in the net is a "trusted client" in that case.
FYI: squid-3.0.1 is now in the tree
