Several 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:
"infamous41md" discovered a buffer overflow in the parser for Gopher responses which will lead to memory corruption and usually crash Squid.
"infamous41md" discovered an integer overflow in the receiver of WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) messages. An attacker could send a specially crafted UDP datagram that will cause Squid to crash.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.6-2woody5.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your squid package.
