Description Lars Hartmann 2007-12-04 11:16:29 UTC
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

I've added squid-2.6.17 to the tree and package masked version 3.0_rc1.

this one is ready for glsa decision
Comment 12 Pierre-Yves Rofes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-10 21:49:56 UTC
voting NO since only a trusted client can cause a DoS.
Comment 13 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-10 22:30:34 UTC
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.
Comment 14 Lars Hartmann 2007-12-19 09:29:34 UTC
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.
Comment 15 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-20 10:26:55 UTC
FYI: squid-3.0.1 is now in the tree

Thanks for the info, changing my vote to YES and request filed.
