The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has squid packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • An issue was discovered in Squid through 4.7. When handling the tag esi:when when ESI is enabled, Squid calls ESIExpression::Evaluate. This function uses a fixed stack buffer to hold the expression while it’s being evaluated. When processing the expression, it could either evaluate the top of the stack, or add a new member to the stack. When adding a new member, there is no check to ensure that the stack won’t overflow. (CVE-2019-12519)

  • An issue was discovered in Squid before 5.0.2. A remote attacker can replay a sniffed Digest Authentication nonce to gain access to resources that are otherwise forbidden. This occurs because the attacker can overflow the nonce reference counter (a short integer). Remote code execution may occur if the pooled token credentials are freed (instead of replayed as valid credentials). (CVE-2020-11945)

  • The Squid Software Foundation Squid HTTP Caching Proxy version 3.0 to 3.5.27, 4.0 to 4.0.22 contains a Incorrect Pointer Handling vulnerability in ESI Response Processing that can result in Denial of Service for all clients using the proxy… This attack appear to be exploitable via Remote server delivers an HTTP response payload containing valid but unusual ESI syntax… This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 4.0.23 and later. (CVE-2018-1000024)

  • The Squid Software Foundation Squid HTTP Caching Proxy version prior to version 4.0.23 contains a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in HTTP Response X-Forwarded-For header processing that can result in Denial of Service to all clients of the proxy. This attack appear to be exploitable via Remote HTTP server responding with an X-Forwarded-For header to certain types of HTTP request. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 4.0.23 and later. (CVE-2018-1000027)

  • An issue was discovered in Squid 3.3.9 through 3.5.28 and 4.x through 4.7. When Squid is configured to use Digest authentication, it parses the header Proxy-Authorization. It searches for certain tokens such as domain, uri, and qop. Squid checks if this token’s value starts with a quote and ends with one. If so, it performs a memcpy of its length minus 2. Squid never checks whether the value is just a single quote (which would satisfy its requirements), leading to a memcpy of its length minus 1. (CVE-2019-12525)

  • The cachemgr.cgi web module of Squid through 4.7 has XSS via the user_name or auth parameter.
    (CVE-2019-13345)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
