Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2005-106 Moderate: Squid Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey February 1, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent Fedora Core 3 upgrade brings essential security fixes for the Squid proxy service aim to bolster overall system defense.
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.

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.
