Bug Description

Binary package hint: squid

Dear colleagues,

squid-2.X and squid-3.x are vulnerable.

Message from NVD:

The "cache update reply processing" functionality in Squid 2.x before 2.6.STABLE17 and Squid 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors related to HTTP headers.

This applies to all squid packages in our supported releases.

Severity: (from upstream: http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2007_2.txt)

This problem allows any client trusted to use the service to
 perform a denial of service attack on the Squid service.
