TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1777446517 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Squid through 4.7. When Squid is parsing ESI, it keeps the ESI elements in
    ESIContext. ESIContext contains a buffer for holding a stack of ESIElements. When a new ESIElement is
    parsed, it is added via addStackElement. addStackElement has a check for the number of elements in this
    buffer, but it's off by 1, leading to a Heap Overflow of 1 element. The overflow is within the same
    structure so it can't affect adjacent memory blocks, and thus just leads to a crash while processing.
    (CVE-2019-12521)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid through 4.7. When handling requests from users, Squid checks its rules to
    see if the request should be denied. Squid by default comes with rules to block access to the Cache
    Manager, which serves detailed server information meant for the maintainer. This rule is implemented via
    url_regex. The handler for url_regex rules URL decodes an incoming request. This allows an attacker to
    encode their URL to bypass the url_regex check, and gain access to the blocked resource. (CVE-2019-12524)

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