Package: squid
Vulnerability: denial of service
OpenPKG Specific: no
Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT <= squid-2.5.10-20050709 >= squid-2.5.10-20050910
OpenPKG 2.4 <= squid-2.5.10-2.4.0 >= squid-2.5.10-2.4.1
OpenPKG 2.3 <= squid-2.5.9-2.3.0 >= squid-2.5.9-2.3.1
Dependent Packages: none
Description:
Two Denial of Service (DoS) security issues were discovered in the
Squid [0] Internet proxy. The first DoS is possible via certain
aborted requests that trigger an assertion error related to
"STORE_PENDING". The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
project assigned the id CAN-2005-2794 [1] to the problem. The second
problem allows remote attackers to cause a DoS via certain crafted
requests and SSL timeouts. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2005-2796 [2] to the problem.
Please check whether you are affected by running "
/bin/openpkg
rpm -q squid". If you have the "squid" package installed and its
version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
upgrade it (see Solution) [3][4].
Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.4, perform the
following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
other releases adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/2.4/UPD
ftp> get squid-2.5.10-2.4.1.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ /bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig squid-2.5.10-2.4.1.src.rpm
$ /bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild squid-2.5.10-2.4.1.src.rpm
$ su -
# /bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh /RPM/PKG/squid-2.5.10-2.4.1.*.rpm
