CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : squid
SUMMARY : Fixes for squid vulnerabilities
DATE : 2004-11-03 10:48:00
ID : CLA-2004:882
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 9, 10

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
Squid[1] is a full-featured web proxy cache.

This announcement fixes a denial of service vulnerability[2] in squid
caused by a malformed NTLMSSP packet. This causes a negative value to
be passed to memcpy on servers with NTLM authentication enabled,
making squid abort and causing a denial of service condition.

Fixes for two segmentation faults were also included: when using a
blank user name in digest authentication[3] and after the message
"Likely proxy abuse detected" has been printed to cache.log[4].

Also fixes a denial of service situation[5] caused by certain
malformed SNMP requests that when received by squid could restart it
with a segmentation fault error.

For Conectiva Linux 9, this announcement also fixes a buffer overflow
vulnerability[6] in the ntlm_check_auth (NTLM authentication)
function that allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via
a long password.


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.
