[ASA-201911-8] squid: multiple issues
Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201911-8 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2019-11-07 CVE-ID : CVE-2019-12526 CVE-2019-18678 CVE-2019-18679 Package : squid Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1062 Summary ======= The package squid before version 4.9-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, content spoofing and information disclosure. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 4.9-1. # pacman -Syu "squid>=4.9-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 4.9. Workaround ========== - CVE-2019-12526 Deny urn: protocol URI being proxied to all clients: acl URN proto URN http_access deny URN - CVE-2019-18678 There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. - CVE-2019-18679 Digest authentication can be disabled by removing all 'auth_param digest ...' configuration settings from squid.conf. Description =========== - CVE-2019-12526 (arbitrary code execution) A heap-based buffer overflow has been found in Squid before 4.9, when processing URN. - CVE-2019-18678 (content spoofing) A HTTP request splitting issue has been found in Squid before 4.9. This issue allows attackers to smuggle HTTP requests through frontend software to a Squid which splits the HTTP Request pipeline differently. The resulting Response messages corrupt caches between client and Squid with attacker controlled content at arbitrary URLs. - CVE-2019-18679 (information disclosure) An information disclosure issue has been found in Squid before 4.9, when processing HTTP Digest Authentication. The nonce tokens contain the raw byte value of a pointer which sits within heap memory allocation, which reduces ASLR protections and may aid attackers isolating memory areas to target for remote code execution attacks. Impact ====== A remote attacker might access sensitive information, corrupt the content of arbitrary URLs in the caches or execute arbitrary code.
