Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (affecting availability to all clients) via an HTTP response. The issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the server.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2021:4292 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to a buffer-management bug, it     allows a denial of service. When resolving a request with the urn: scheme, the parser leaks a small amount     of memory. However, there is an unspecified attack methodology that can easily trigger a large amount of     memory consumption. (CVE-2021-28651)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to incorrect parser validation, it     allows a Denial of Service attack against the Cache Manager API. This allows a trusted client to trigger     memory leaks that. over time, lead to a Denial of Service via an unspecified short query string. This     attack is limited to clients with Cache Manager API access privilege. (CVE-2021-28652)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid 4.x before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. If a remote server sends a certain     response header over HTTP or HTTPS, there is a denial of service. This header can plausibly occur in     benign network traffic. (CVE-2021-28662)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. Due to a memory-management bug, it is     vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy) via HTTP Range request     processing. (CVE-2021-31806)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. An integer overflow problem allows a     remote server to achieve Denial of Service when delivering responses to HTTP Range requests. The issue     trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent.

  - Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6 allows remote     servers to cause a denial of service (affecting     availability to all clients) via an HTTP response. The     issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist     in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the     server.(CVE-2021-33620)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid 4.x before 4.15 and     5.x before 5.0.6. If a remote server sends a certain     response header over HTTP or HTTPS, there is a denial     of service. This header can plausibly occur in benign     network traffic.(CVE-2021-28662)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x     before 5.0.6. Due to an input-validation bug, it is     vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all     clients using the proxy). A client sends an HTTP Range     request to trigger this.(CVE-2021-31808)

  - An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x     before 5.0.6. An integer overflow problem allows a     remote server to achieve Denial of Service when     delivering responses to HTTP Range requests. The issue     trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in     HTTP traffic without any malicious     intent.(CVE-2021-31807)

An update of the squid package has been released.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Squid, a proxy caching server. 

CVE-2021-28651

Due to a buffer-management bug, it allows a denial of service. When resolving a request with the urn: scheme, the parser leaks a small amount of memory. However, there is an unspecified attack methodology that can easily trigger a large amount of memory consumption.

CVE-2021-28652

Due to incorrect parser validation, it allows a Denial of Service attack against the Cache Manager API. This allows a trusted client to trigger memory leaks that. over time, lead to a Denial of Service via an unspecified short query string. This attack is limited to clients with Cache Manager API access privilege.

CVE-2021-31806

Due to a memory-management bug, it is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy) via HTTP Range request processing.

CVE-2021-31807

An integer overflow problem allows a remote server to achieve Denial of Service when delivering responses to HTTP Range requests. The issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent.

CVE-2021-31808

Due to an input-validation bug, it is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack (against all clients using the proxy). A client sends an HTTP Range request to trigger this.

CVE-2021-33620

Remote servers to cause a denial of service (affecting availability to all clients) via an HTTP response. The issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the server.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.23-5+deb9u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid3 packages.
