Descriptions

Squid before 3.5.6 does not properly handle CONNECT method peer responses when configured with cache_peer, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions and gain access to a backend proxy via a CONNECT request.

Vulnerabilidad en Squid en versiones anteriores a 3.5.6, no maneja adecuadamente las respuestas de pares del método CONNECT cuando se configura con cache_peer, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones previstas y obtener acceso a un proxy backend a través de una solicitud CONNECT.

Alex Rousskov of The Measurement Factory discovered that Squid3, a fully featured web proxy cache, does not correctly handle CONNECT method peer responses when configured with cache_peer and operating on explicit proxy traffic. This could allow remote clients to gain unrestricted access through a gateway proxy to its backend proxy.
