Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0041
Package name: Squid
Summary: Minor securityfix
Date: 2002-01-02
Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem description:
A security issue was recently found and fixed by the squid team. The bug
exists in the Squid-2.X releases up to and including 2.4.STABLE4.
Error and boundary conditions were not checked when handling compressed DNS
answer messages in the internal DNS code (lib/rfc1035.c). A malicous DNS
server could craft a DNS reply that causes Squid to exit with a SIGSEGV.
This update fixes this issue.

We recommend that all systems with this package installed are upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
