Certain aborted requests that trigger an assertion in squid, the popular WWW proxy cache, may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This update also fixes a regression caused by DSA 751.
For completeness below is the original advisory text :
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
- CAN-2005-2794 Certain aborted requests that trigger an assert may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
- CAN-2005-2796
Specially crafted requests can cause a denial of service.
