squid3 vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 14.10
  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Squid could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:

  • squid3: Web proxy cache server

Details:

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the Squid pinger incorrectly handled
certain malformed ICMP packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
squid3 3.3.8-1ubuntu8.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
