Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 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 the affected packages:

i686:
    squid-migration-script-3.5.20-17.44.amzn1.i686
    squid-3.5.20-17.44.amzn1.i686
