Summary

Squid 2.5 up to 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to poison the cache or conduct certain attacks via headers that do not follow the HTTP specification, including (1) multiple Content-Length headers, (2) carriage return (CR) characters that are not part of a CRLF pair, and (3) header names containing whitespace characters.

    descriptionAn updated Squid package that fixes several security issues is now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Gopher relay parser. This bug could allow a remote Gopher server to crash the Squid proxy that reads data from it. Although Gopher servers are now quite rare, a malicious webpage (for example) could redirect or contain a frame pointing to an attacker

    available.
    
    This update has been rated as having important security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache.
    
    A buffer overflow flaw was found in the Gopher relay parser. This bug
    could allow a remote Gopher server to crash the Squid proxy that reads
    data from it. Although Gopher servers are now quite rare, a malicious
    webpage (for example) could redirect or contain a frame pointing to an
    attacker's malicious gopher server. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0094
    to this issue.
    
    An integer overflow flaw was found in the WCCP message parser. It is
    possible to crash the Squid server if an attacker is able to send a
    malformed WCCP message with a spoofed source address matching Squid's
    'home router'. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
    (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0095 to this issue.
    
    A memory leak was found in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper. It is
    possible that an attacker could place the Squid server under high
    load, causing the NTML fakeauth_auth helper to consume a large amount
    of memory, resulting in a denial of service. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
    name CVE-2005-0096 to this issue.
    
    A NULL pointer de-reference bug was found in the NTLM fakeauth_auth
    helper. It is possible for an attacker to send a malformed NTLM type 3
    message, causing the Squid server to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities
    and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
    CVE-2005-0097 to this issue.
    
    A username validation bug was found in squid_ldap_auth. It is possible
    for a username to be padded with spaces, which could allow a user to
    bypass explicit access control rules or confuse accounting. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
    name CVE-2005-0173 to this issue.
    
    The way Squid handles HTTP responses was found to need strengthening.
    It is possible that a malicious Web server could send a series of HTTP
    responses in such a way that the Squid cache could be poisoned,
    presenting users with incorrect webpages. The Common Vulnerabilities
    and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names
    CVE-2005-0174 and CVE-2005-0175 to these issues.
    
    A bug was found in the way Squid handled oversized HTTP response
    headers. It is possible that a malicious Web server could send a
    specially crafted HTTP header which could cause the Squid cache to be
    poisoned, presenting users with incorrect webpages. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
    name CVE-2005-0241 to this issue.
    
    A buffer overflow bug was found in the WCCP message parser. It is
    possible that an attacker could send a malformed WCCP message which
    could crash the Squid server or execute arbitrary code. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
    name CVE-2005-0211 to this issue.
    
    Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains
    backported patches, and is not vulnerable to these issues."

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-04 (Squid: Multiple vulnerabilities) Squid contains several vulnerabilities: Buffer overflow when handling WCCP recvfrom() (CAN-2005-0211). Loose checking of HTTP headers (CAN-2005-0173 and CAN-2005-0174). Incorrect handling of LDAP login names with spaces (CAN-2005-0175). Impact : An attacker could exploit: the WCCP buffer overflow to cause Denial of Service. 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. the LDAP issue to login with several variations of the same login name, leading to log poisoning. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the internet object cache, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities : - CAN-2005-0173 LDAP is very forgiving about spaces in search filters and this could be abused to log in using several variants of the login name, possibly bypassing explicit access controls or confusing accounting. - CAN-2005-0175 Cache pollution/poisoning via HTTP response splitting has been discovered. - CAN-2005-0194 The meaning of the access controls becomes somewhat confusing if any of the referenced ACLs (access control lists) is declared empty, without any members. - CAN-2005-0211 The length argument of the WCCP recvfrom() call is larger than it should be. An attacker may send a larger than normal WCCP packet that could overflow a buffer.

    descriptionThe remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:006 (squid). Squid is a feature-rich web-proxy with support for various web-related protocols. The last two squid updates from February the 1st and 10th fix several vulnerabilities. The impact of them range from remote denial-of-service over cache poisoning to possible remote command execution. Due to the hugh amount of bugs the vulnerabilities are just summarized here. CVE-2005-0094 A buffer overflow in the Gopher responses parser leads to memory corruption and usually crash squid. CVE-2005-0095 An integer overflow in the receiver of WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) messages can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram to crash squid. CVE-2005-0096 A memory leak in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper for Squid 2.5.STABLE7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service due to uncontrolled memory consumption. CVE-2005-0097 The NTLM component in Squid 2.5.STABLE7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a crash od squid by sending a malformed NTLM message. CVE-2005-0173 LDAP handles search filters very laxly. This behaviour can be abused to log in using several variants of a login name, possibly bypassing explicit access controls or confusing accounting. CVE-2005-0175 and CVE-2005-0174 Minor problems in the HTTP header parsing code that can be used for cache poisoning. CVE-2005-0211 A buffer overflow in the WCCP handling code in Squid 2.5 before 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service and possibly execute arbitrary code by using a long WCCP packet. CVE-2005-0241 The httpProcessReplyHeader function in Squid 2.5-STABLE7 and earlier does not properly set the debug context when it is handling
