JSON

http.cc in Squid 4.x before 4.0.7 relies on the HTTP status code after a
response-parsing failure, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a
denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed
response.

Notes

Author	Note
mdeslaur	This CVE is only for the ‘Do not use parsing leftovers, such as HTTP response status code’ part of the squid-4-14548.patch patch. As such, it is 4.x only.
