Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.9. When handling a URN request, a corresponding HTTP request is made. This HTTP request doesn't go through the access checks that incoming HTTP requests go through. This causes all access checks to be bypassed and allows access to restricted HTTP servers, e.g., an attacker can connect to HTTP servers that only listen on localhost.

Se detectó un problema en Squid versiones anteriores a 4.9. Cuando se maneja una petición URN, es realizada una petición HTTP correspondiente. Esta petición HTTP no pasa por las comprobaciones de acceso por las que pasan las peticiones HTTP entrantes. Esto causa que se omitan todas las comprobaciones de acceso y permite el acceso a servidores HTTP restringidos, por ejemplo, un atacante puede conectar con servidores HTTP que solo escuchan en localhost.
