====================================================================                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Moderate: squid security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:1573-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1573.html
Issue date:        2016-08-04
CVE Names:         CVE-2016-5408 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for squid is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
supporting FTP, Gopher, and HTTP data objects.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-4051 released via RHSA-2016:1138
did not properly prevent the stack overflow in the munge_other_line()
function. A remote attacker could send specially crafted data to the Squid
proxy, which would exploit the cachemgr CGI utility, possibly triggering
execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5408)

Red Hat would like to thank Amos Jeffries (Squid) for reporting this issue.

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, the squid service will be restarted
automatically.
