    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, a full featured     web proxy cache. Due to programming errors in Squid's HTTP request parsing,     remote attackers may be able to execute a denial of service attack by sending     large X-Forwarded-For header or trigger a stack buffer overflow while     performing HTTP Digest authentication. Other issues facilitate request     smuggling past a firewall or a denial of service against Squid's Helper process     management.

    In regard to CVE-2023-46728: Please note that support for the Gopher protocol     has simply been removed in future Squid versions. There are no plans by the     upstream developers of Squid to fix this issue. We recommend to reject all     Gopher URL requests instead.

    For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed     in version 4.13-10+deb11u3.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 5.7-2+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the squid package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Due to an Improper Validation of Specified Index bug, Squid versions     3.3.0.1 through 5.9 and 6.0 prior to 6.4 compiled using `--with-openssl` are vulnerable to a Denial of     Service attack against SSL Certificate validation. This problem allows a remote server to perform Denial     of Service against Squid Proxy by initiating a TLS Handshake with a specially crafted SSL Certificate in a     server certificate chain. This attack is limited to HTTPS and SSL-Bump. This bug is fixed in Squid version     6.4. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable releases can be found in Squid's patch     archives. Those who you use a prepackaged version of Squid should refer to the package vendor for     availability information on updated packages. (CVE-2023-46724)

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to a NULL pointer     dereference bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against Squid's Gopher gateway. The     gopher protocol is always available and enabled in Squid prior to Squid 6.0.1. Responses triggering this     bug are possible to be received from any gopher server, even those without malicious intent. Gopher     support has been removed in Squid version 6.0.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade     should reject all gopher URL requests. (CVE-2023-46728)

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to a Buffer Overread bug     Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against Squid HTTP Message processing. This bug is fixed     by Squid version 6.5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2023-49285)

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to an Incorrect Check of     Function Return Value bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack against its Helper process     management. This bug is fixed by Squid version 6.5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-49286)

  - Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Due to an Uncontrolled Recursion bug in versions 2.6 through     2.7.STABLE9, versions 3.1 through 5.9, and versions 6.0.1 through 6.5, Squid may be vulnerable to a Denial     of Service attack against HTTP Request parsing. This problem allows a remote client to perform Denial of     Service attack by sending a large X-Forwarded-For header when the follow_x_forwarded_for feature is     configured. This bug is fixed by Squid version 6.6. In addition, patches addressing this problem for the     stable releases can be found in Squid's patch archives. (CVE-2023-50269)
