CVE-2016-2571 – squid: wrong error handling for malformed HTTP responses

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2016-2571

http.cc in Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 proceeds with the storage of certain data after a response-parsing failure, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed response. http.cc en Squid 3.x en versiones anteriores a 3.5.15 y 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.0.7 procede con el almacenamiento de ciertos datos después de un fallo de respuesta de análisis, lo que permite a servidores HTTP remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción y salida de demonio) a través de una respuesta mal formada. It was found that squid did not properly handle errors when failing to parse an HTTP response, possibly leading to an assertion failure. A malicious HTTP server could use this flaw to crash squid using a specially crafted HTTP response. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00010.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2016-08/msg00040.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2016-08/msg00069.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2600.html http://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3522 http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/02/26/2 http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1035101 http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2016_2.txt http://www.s • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation CWE-228: Improper Handling of Syntactically Invalid Structure •
