Fedora Core 2: 2005-275 Critical Update For Squid Proxy Server

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.

Note that squid-2.5.STABLE7 and later do not use /etc/squid/errors for

error messages. If you do not want to use the default English error

messages, you must set the error_directory in your

/etc/squid/squid.conf to the appropriate subdirectory of

/usr/share/squid/errors

- more upstream patches

- include -libbind patch, to prevent squid from picking up a dependency

on libbind.

- remove references to /etc/squid/errors, since squid now uses

{_datadir}/squid/errors/English by default. (overridable in squid.conf)

- Mark {datadir}/squid/errors as config(noreplace) so custom error messages

won't get scribbled on.

* Wed Mar 16 2005 Jay Fenlason 7:2.5.STABLE9-1.FC3.1

- New upstream version, with 14 upstream patches. Includes fix for

bz#150234 cookie leak in squid
