According to its banner, the version of Squid running on the remote host is 3.x prior to 3.5.28, or 4.x prior to 4.0.23. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the ESI response processing component due to incorrect pointer handling.
    A remote attacker controlled server can exploit this issue, via a crafted ESI response, to cause a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service (CVE-2018-1000024)

  • A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the HTTP message processing component due to incorrect pointer handling.
    An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted HTTP request, to cause a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service (CVE-2018-1000027)

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