"The CentOS Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1777541147 advisory.

  - 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)

  - Squid before 4.4 has XSS via a crafted X.509 certificate during HTTP(S) error page generation for
    certificate errors. (CVE-2018-19131)

  - Squid before 4.4, when SNMP is enabled, allows a denial of service (Memory Leak) via an SNMP packet.
    (CVE-2018-19132)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.9. When handling a URN request, a corresponding HTTP request is
    made. This HTTP request doesn't go through the access checks that incoming HTTP requests go through. This
    causes all access checks to be bypassed and allows access to restricted HTTP servers, e.g., an attacker
    can connect to HTTP servers that only listen on localhost. (CVE-2019-12523)

  - 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)

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