Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Squid 3.x and 4.x through 4.8. Due to incorrect input validation, there is a heap-based buffer overflow that can result in Denial of Service to all clients using the proxy. Severity is high due to this vulnerability occurring before normal security checks; any remote client that can reach the proxy port can trivially perform the attack via a crafted URI scheme.

Se descubrió un problema en Squid versiones 2.x, 3.x y versiones 4.x hasta 4.8. Debido a una comprobación de entrada incorrecta, hay un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria que puede resultar en una Denegación de Servicio a todos los clientes que usan el proxy. La gravedad es alta debido a que esta vulnerabilidad ocurre antes de las comprobaciones de seguridad normales; cualquier cliente remoto que pueda alcanzar el puerto proxy puede realizar trivialmente el ataque por medio de un esquema de URI especialmente diseñado.
