  <title>Squid: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Squid contains vulnerabilities in the code handling WCCP, HTTP and LDAP
    which could lead to Denial of Service, access control bypass, web cache and
    log poisoning.

    <p>
    Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache designed to run on Unix
    systems. It supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other
    protocols, as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent
    caching, access control lists and many other features.

  <description>
    <p>
    Squid contains several vulnerabilities:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>Buffer overflow when handling WCCP recvfrom()
    (CAN-2005-0211).</li>
    <li>Loose checking of HTTP headers (CAN-2005-0173 and
    CAN-2005-0174).</li>
    <li>Incorrect handling of LDAP login names with spaces
    (CAN-2005-0175).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>the WCCP buffer overflow to cause Denial of Service.</li>
    <li>the HTTP header parsing vulnerabilities to inject arbitrary
    response data, potentially leading to content spoofing, web cache
    poisoning and other cross-site scripting or HTTP response splitting
    attacks.</li>
    <li>the LDAP issue to login with several variations of the same login
    name, leading to log poisoning.</li>
    </ul>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Squid users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-proxy/squid-2.5.7-r5"</code>
  </resolution>
