Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Squid is a full-featured Web Proxy Cache designed to run on Unix |
39 |
systems. It supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs, |
40 |
as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access |
41 |
control lists and many other features. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
If Squid is configured to use NTLM authentication, an attacker could |
47 |
exploit this vulnerability by sending a very long password. This could |
48 |
lead to arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user |
49 |
running Squid. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to |
55 |
upgrade to the latest available version. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All Squid users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge sync |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-www/squid-2.5.5-r2" |
65 |
# emerge ">=net-www/squid-2.5.5-r2" |
