Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-1732
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1732
2004-06-16
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Name        : squid
Version 9   : 2.5.STABLE1-4.10.legacy
Summary     : The Squid proxy caching server.
Description :
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
 
Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System
lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data
(ftpget), and some management and client tools.
 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Squid Web
Proxy Cache could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 
A remote attacker can compromise a target system if Squid Proxy is
configured to use the NTLM authentication helper. The attacker can send
an overly long password to overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary
code.
 
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.
