high Nessus Plugin ID 131148

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Squid Team reports :

Problem Description: Due to incorrect data management Squid is vulnerable to a information disclosure when processing HTTP Digest Authentication.

Severity: Nonce tokens contain the raw byte value of a pointer which sits within heap memory allocation. This information reduces ASLR protections and may aid attackers isolating memory areas to target for remote code execution attacks.

Solution

Update the affected package.
