Fedora Core 3: 2005-276 Moderate: Squid 2.5.STABLE9 Update

fedora
Calendar Grey March 30, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The Squid proxy server on Fedora Core 3 has been upgraded with significant patches that enhance both efficiency and stability.
Updated package.

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.

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

- Add more upstream patches.

- add the -libbind patch, to avoid picking up a new dependency on libbind.

- Remove references to /etc/squid/errors from this spec, since squid

now uses {_datadir}/squid/errors/English/ by default (overridable in

/etc/squid/squid.conf, as always)

- mark {_datadir}/squid/errors as config(noreplace) so custom error messages

won't get stomped on.

* Wed Mar 16 2005 Jay Fenlason 7:2.5.STABLE9-1.FC3.2

bz#150234 cookie leak in squid
