The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-04 (Squid: Denial of service when using NTLM authentication)

Squid 2.5.x versions contain a bug in the functions ntlm_fetch_string()     and ntlm_get_string() which lack checking the int32_t offset 'o' for     negative values.

Impact :

A remote attacker could cause a denial of service situation by sending     certain malformed NTLMSSP packets if NTLM authentication is enabled.

Workaround :

Disable NTLM authentication by removing any 'auth_param ntlm program     ...' directives from squid.conf or use ntlm_auth from Samba-3.x.
