The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Squid is an open source caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to Input     Validation, Premature Release of Resource During Expected Lifetime, and Missing Release of Resource after     Effective Lifetime bugs, Squid is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks by a trusted server against all     clients using the proxy. This bug is fixed in the default build configuration of Squid version 6.10.
    (CVE-2024-45802)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4083 advisory.

    Package        : squid     Version        : 4.13-10+deb11u4     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-25111 CVE-2024-37894 CVE-2024-45802     Debian Bug     :

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, a full featured     web proxy cache.

    CVE-2024-25111

        A possible Denial of Service attack against HTTP Chunked decoder due         to an uncontrolled recursion bug. This problem allows a remote         attacker to cause Denial of Service when sending a crafted, chunked,         encoded HTTP Message.

    CVE-2024-37894

        Due to an Out-of-bounds Write error when assigning ESI variables,         Squid is susceptible to a Memory Corruption error. This error can         lead to a Denial of Service attack.

    CVE-2024-45802

        Disable ESI feature support.
        - Due to Input Validation, Premature Release of Resource During Expected           Lifetime, and Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime bugs,           Squid is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks by a trusted server           against all clients using the proxy. This problem is fixed by changing           the build configuration to specify the --disable-esi option.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     4.13-10+deb11u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.
