as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access
control lists and many other features.

<description>
<p>
Squid 2.5.x versions contain a bug in the functions ntlm_fetch_string()
and ntlm_get_string() which lack checking the int32_t offset "o" for
negative values.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could cause a denial of service situation by sending
certain malformed NTLMSSP packets if NTLM authentication is enabled.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Disable NTLM authentication by removing any "auth_param ntlm program
..." directives from squid.conf or use ntlm_auth from Samba-3.x.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Squid users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv "&gt;=net-www/squid-2.5.6-r2"
# emerge "&gt;=net-www/squid-2.5.6-r2"</code>
</resolution>
