Discussion

Squid Web Proxy Cache 'arrayShrink()' Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Squid is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because of a flaw when processing HTTP headers for cached objects.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash the affected application, denying further service to legitimate users.

NOTE: This vulnerability was caused by an incorrect fix for the issue described in BID 26687 (Squid Proxy Cache Update Reply Processing Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability; CVE-2007-6239).

This issue affects Squid 2.6 prior to 2.6.STABLE18.
