Fedora 29: 2018-714298460e Severe: Squid XSS Vulnerability and Memory Leak

fedora
Calendar Grey December 24, 2018
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Squid 4.4 for Fedora 29 features security enhancements that tackle HTTPS response vulnerabilities and resolve memory leak concerns.
Version update + Security fix for CVE-2018-19131 and CVE-2018-19132

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.
