ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1738693764 advisory.

  - Squid is a web proxy cache. Starting in version 3.5.27 and prior to version 6.8, Squid may be vulnerable
    to a 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. This bug is fixed in Squid version 6.8. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the
    stable releases can be found in Squid's patch archives. There is no workaround for this issue.
    (CVE-2024-25111)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2024-45802)

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