CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE : squid
SUMMARY : Several vulnerabilities
DATE : 2002-07-05 11:42:00
ID : CLA-2002:506
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0, 8

DESCRIPTION
 Squid is a caching/proxy daemon for HTTP, FTP and gopher.
 
 The squid team released squid 2.4.stable7 which fixes a number of
 remote vulnerabilities[1] in previous versions:
 
 - Gopher client buffer overflows[2]
 - FTP directory parsing buffer overflow[3]
 - FTP data channel sanity check[4]
 - Proxy authentication credentials forward[5]
 
 An attacker can exploit some of these vulnerabilities to execute
 arbitrary code remotely as the user running squid (which in Conectiva
 Linux is "proxy" or "nobody"), cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) in the
 server or inject/get invalid data in/from the network.
 
 This new release also drops any requests using transfer-encoding[6]
 in order to avoid exploits of a known issue[7] in vulnerable apache
 web servers. This does not affect the functionality of squid since it
 is a HTTP/1.0 proxy and as such it does not support transfer-encoding
 requests.

SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all squid users upgrade to the latest
 packages. This update will automatically restart the service if it is
 already running.
