Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU51248

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25097

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation

Update the affected package squid to the latest version.

2) 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 the affected package squid to the latest version.

3) 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 the affected package squid to the latest version.

4) 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 the affected package squid to the latest version.
