  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Due to a buffer management bug Squid is vulnerable to a DoS
  attack against the server it is operating on.

  This attack is limited to proxies which attempt to resolve a 'urn:' resource identifier. Support
  for this resolving is enabled by default in all Squid.

  This problem allows a malicious server in collaboration with a trusted client to consume
  arbitrarily large amounts of memory on the server running Squid.

  Lack of available memory resources impacts all services on the machine running Squid. Once
  initiated the DoS situation will persist until Squid is shutdown.

  This flaw was part of the 'Squid Caching Proxy Security Audit: 55 vulnerabilities and 35 0days'
  publication in October 2023 and filed as 'RFC 2141 / 2169 (URN) Response Parsing Memory Leak'.");

  script_tag(name:"affected", value:"Squid version 2.0 through 4.14 and 5.0.1 through 5.0.5.");

  advisory for a workaround.");
