The remote host is missing an update for the 'squid' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. An input validation flaw was found in the way Squid calculated the total number of resource records in the answer section of multiple name server responses. Users of squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue
