    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-25111 CVE-2024-37894 CVE-2024-45802
    Debian Bug     :

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, a full featured
    web proxy cache.

    CVE-2024-25111

        A possible Denial of Service attack against HTTP Chunked decoder due
        to an uncontrolled recursion bug. This problem allows a remote
        attacker to cause Denial of Service when sending a crafted, chunked,
        encoded HTTP Message.

    CVE-2024-37894

        Due to an Out-of-bounds Write error when assigning ESI variables,
        Squid is susceptible to a Memory Corruption error. This error can
        lead to a Denial of Service attack.

    CVE-2024-45802

        Disable ESI feature support.
        - Due to Input Validation, Premature Release of Resource During Expected
          Lifetime, and Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime bugs,
          Squid is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks by a trusted server
          against all clients using the proxy. This problem is fixed by changing
          the build configuration to specify the --disable-esi option.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    4.13-10+deb11u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.
