Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53017

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28651

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when resolving "urn:" resource identifiers. A remote attacker can trick a user behind the proxy server to click on a specially crafted "urn:" link that leads to a server under attacker's control and force Squid to consume arbitrarily large amounts of memory on the server. 

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.

Vulnerable software versions

squid (Debian package): 4.0.21-1~exp5 - 4.13-1

CPE2.3 External links

https://www.debian.org/security/2021/dsa-4924


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU53019

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28652

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak due to incorrect parser validation in Cache Manager API. A remote trusted client with Cache Manager API access privilege can perform denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.

Vulnerable software versions

squid (Debian package): 4.0.21-1~exp5 - 4.13-1

3) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53018

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28662

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing HTTP responses. A remote attacker who controls a malicious web page can send specially crafted HTTP response and perform a denial of service attack against the proxy server. The issue trigger is a header which can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the server.

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.

Vulnerable software versions

squid (Debian package): 4.0.21-1~exp5 - 4.13-1

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53020

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31806

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when performing HTTP Range requests. A remote proxy client can send specially crafted HTTP request via the proxy server  and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.

Vulnerable software versions

squid (Debian package): 4.0.21-1~exp5 - 4.13-1

5) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53599

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31807

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of memory within the application when processing HTTP Range header. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.

Vulnerable software versions

squid (Debian package): 4.0.21-1~exp5 - 4.13-1

6) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU53021

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31808

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when delivering responses from HTTP Range requests. A remote proxy client can send specially crafted HTTP request via the proxy server, force the server to initiate a necessary response, trigger integer overflow in Squid and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update squid package to version 4.6-1+deb10u6.
