Debian: DEBIAN-2005-021 Critical: Apache Buffer Overflow Exploit

fedora
Calendar Grey June 10, 2004
Scroller Fedora
Critical vulnerability found in Squid allows for remote code execution. Users of Fedora are strongly urged to install the latest patches.
A remotely-exploitable buffer overflow allows the execution of arbitrary code.

Summary

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,

supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional

caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,

non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially

hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking

DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.

Squid consists of a main server program squid, a Domain Name System

lookup program (dnsserver), a program for retrieving FTP data

(ftpget), and some management and client tools.
