3) 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.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8517)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
