Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8450)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTTP requests, when Squid is acting as a reverse proxy. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected proxy server, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8449)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, bypass configured security filters and gain access to certain server resources.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12528)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when translating FTP server listing into HTTP responses. A remote attacker can trick the victim into vising a specially crafted FTP server, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to memory contents of the heap.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8517)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the NTLM authentication credentials parser in ext_lm_group_acl. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected proxy server, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service attack.
