It was discovered that there can be a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in squid3 due to a memory leak in SNMP query rejection code when SNMP is enabled. In environments where per-process memory restrictions are not enforced strictly, a remote attacker to consume all memory available to the Squid process, causing it to crash.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 3.4.8-6+deb8u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages.
