Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Squid is vulnerable to a denial of service attack which could crash its |
22 |
NTLM helpers. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Squid is a full-featured Web Proxy Cache designed to run on Unix |
28 |
systems. It supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs, |
29 |
as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access |
30 |
control lists and many other features. |

Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
Squid 2.5.x versions contain a bug in the functions ntlm_fetch_string() |
45 |
and ntlm_get_string() which lack checking the int32_t offset "o" for |
46 |
negative values. |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker could cause a denial of service situation by sending |
52 |
certain malformed NTLMSSP packets if NTLM authentication is enabled. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
Disable NTLM authentication by removing any "auth_param ntlm program |
58 |
..." directives from squid.conf or use ntlm_auth from Samba-3.x. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Squid users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge sync |
66 |
|
67 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/squid-2.5.6-r2" |
68 |
# emerge ">=net-www/squid-2.5.6-r2" |
