Debian DLA-1266-1 : squid3 security update

Description

Squid, a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, has been found vulnerable to denial of service attacks associated with ESI response processing and intermediate CA certificate downloading. CVE-2018-1000024 Incorrect pointer handling resulted in the ability of a remote server to return a crafted ESI response which could trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service. This issue affects the Squid custom ESI parser. CVE-2018-1000027 Incorrect pointer handling resulted in the possibility of a remote client delivering certain HTTP requests in conjunction with certain trusted server reponses involving the processing of ESI responses or downloading of intermediate CA certificates to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the squid service. For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.20-2.2+deb7u8. We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages. NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
