A flaw was found in Squid. This issue may allow a remote client or remote server to trigger a denial of service when sending oversized headers in HTTP messages.
Mitigation
To mitigate this flaw in Squid versions prior to 6.5, set the request_header_max_size and reply_header_max_size configuration options to 21KB. The following lines should be added to the Squid configuration file:
request_header_max_size 21 KB
reply_header_max_size 21 KB
In Squid versions 6.5 and newer, the default values of these options are considered safe and the above configuration can be removed. Also, Squid will emit a warning in the logs if the configured values are unsafe.
