The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4446-2 advisory.

USN-4446-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Squid. The update introduced a regression when using Squid with the     icap or ecap protocols. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Jeriko One discovered that Squid incorrectly handled caching certain

requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform

cache-injection attacks or gain access to reverse proxy features such as

ESI. (CVE-2019-12520)

Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly

handled certain URN requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this

issue to bypass access checks. (CVE-2019-12523)

Jeriko One discovered that Squid incorrectly handled URL decoding. A remote

attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain rule checks.

(CVE-2019-12524)

Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly

handled input validation. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause

Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-18676)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
