1. Problem Description

         Vulnerability in Squid related to proxy authentication
         credentials may allow remote web sites to obtain the user's
         proxy login and password.

         FTP proxy in Squid does not compare the IP addresses of
         control and data connections with the FTP server, which
         allows remote attackers to bypass firewall rules or spoof FTP
         server responses.

         Buffer overflows in Squid allow remote attackers to cause a
         denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code
         (1) via the MSNT auth helper (msnt_auth) when using denyusers
         or allowusers files, (2) via the gopher client, or (3) via
         the FTP server directory listing parser when HTML output is
         generated.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

        System                          Binaries
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        OpenServer 5.0.5                Squid distribution
        OpenServer 5.0.6                Squid distribution


3. Solution

        The proper solution is to install the latest packages.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
