The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6728-2 advisory.

USN-6728-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Squid. The fix for CVE-2023-5824 caused Squid to crash in certain     environments on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The problematic fix has been reverted pending further investigation.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled collapsed

forwarding. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid

to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu

20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-49288)

Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain structural

elements. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to

crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-5824)

Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled Cache Manager error

responses. A remote trusted client can possibly use this issue to cause

Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-23638)

Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled the HTTP Chunked

decoder. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to

stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-25111)

Joshua Rogers discovered that Squid incorrectly handled HTTP header

parsing. A remote trusted client can possibly use this issue to cause

Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-25617)

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.
