"Squid is an open source caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. 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 bug is 
fixed in the default build configuration of Squid version 6.10.

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