Description:

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the
internet object cache, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
It is possible to bypass access lists and scan arbitrary hosts and
ports in the network through cachemgr.cgi, which is installed by
default. This update disables this feature and introduces a
configuration file (/etc/squid/cachemgr.conf) to control
this behavior.
The asn_parse_header function (asn1.c) in the SNMP module for
Squid allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via
certain SNMP packets with negative length fields that causes a
memory allocation error.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.6-2woody4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.5.7-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your squid package.
