CVE-2019-12527

Se detectó un problema en Squid versiones 4.0.23 hasta 4.7. Al comprobar la autenticación básica con la función HttpHeader::getAuth, Squid utiliza un búfer global para almacenar los datos descodificados. Squid no comprueba que la longitud descodificada no sea superior que el búfer, lo que conlleva a un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria con datos controlados por el usuario.

A flaw was discovered in Squid versions 4.0.23 through 4.7. When checking Basic Authentication with HttpHeader::getAuth, Squid uses a global buffer to store the decoded data but does not check that the decoded length is not greater than the buffer. This flaw leads to a heap-based buffer overflow with user-controlled data.

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled Digest authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled Basic authentication. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.04. Various other issues were also addressed.
