Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-5643 CVE-2013-0189
Debian Bug : 696187
Squid3, a fully featured Web proxy cache, is prone to a denial of
service attack due to memory consumption caused by memory leaks in
cachemgr.cgi:
CVE-2012-5643
squid's cachemgr.cgi was vulnerable to excessive resource use. A
remote attacker could exploit this flaw to perform a denial of
service attack on the server and other hosted services.
CVE-2013-0189
The original patch for CVE-2012-5643 was incomplete. A remote
attacker still could exploit this flaw to perform a denial of
service attack.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
