Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to a memory-management bug, it is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy) via HTTP Range request processing.

An incorrect input validation flaw was found in Squid, where it is vulnerable to a denial of service attack against all clients using the proxy. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

The range handler in The Squid Caching Proxy Server 3.0-4.1.4 and 5.0.1-5.0.5 suffers from multiple vulnerabilities triggered by specific HTTP requests and responses. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service through specifically crafted requests.
