Debian 3.1: DSA 809-1 Critical: Squid Denial of Service Fix

Certain aborted requests that trigger an assert may allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service.

CAN-2005-2796

Specially crafted requests can cause a denial of service.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.5.9-10sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.5.10-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid package.
