Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : squid vulnerability (USN-122-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20511

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Michael Bhola discovered that errors in the http_access configuration, in particular missing or invalid ACLs, did not cause a fatal error.
This could lead to wider access permissions than intended by the administrator.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
