Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: squid
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs fixed: immunix/1675
Date: Wed Jul 18 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-031-01
Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@wirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Paul Nasrat has discovered a bug in squid's httpd_accel mode that
allows users to use squid as a portscanner similar to ftp bounce
scanning because squid does not properly use ACLs in the config file.
Paul conjectures it may be possible to pass data through the squid
proxy to communicate in a meaningful fashion, possibly bypassing
network security settings.
This update fixes this problem.
