"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1764281284 advisory.

  - SQUID is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by chunked decoder lenience, allows a remote
    attacker to perform Request/Response smuggling past firewall and frontend security systems.
    (CVE-2023-46846)

  - 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.");
