CVE-2021-28652

Description

A flaw was found in Squid. A parser validation bug could allow a trusted client with Cache Manager API access privileges to trigger memory leaks, potentially resulting in a denial of service against Squid. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. #### Mitigation To mitigate this flaw Cache Manager access privileges can be hardened, for example by requiring authentication or other access controls in the "http_access" directive beyond the default IP address restriction. Alternatively, Cache Manager access can be disabled entirely if not needed. To do so, place the following line in `squid.conf` before lines containing "allow" : http_access deny manager
