CVE-2020-8449

An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.10. Due to incorrect input validation, it can interpret crafted HTTP requests in unexpected ways to access server resources prohibited by earlier security filters.

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, supporting FTP, Gopher, and HTTP data objects.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: squid (4.11). (BZ#1829467)

Security Fix(es):

• squid: Improper input validation in request allows for proxy manipulation (CVE-2019-12520)

• squid: Off-by-one error in addStackElement allows for heap buffer overflow and crash (CVE-2019-12521)

• squid: Improper input validation in URI processor (CVE-2019-12523)

• squid: Improper access restriction in url_regex may lead to security bypass (CVE-2019-12524)

• squid: Heap overflow issue in URN processing (CVE-2019-12526)

• squid: Information Disclosure issue in FTP Gateway (CVE-2019-12528)

• squid: Out of bounds read in Proxy-Authorization header causes DoS (CVE-2019-12529)

• squid: Denial of service in cachemgr.cgi (CVE-2019-12854)

• squid: Buffer overflow in URI processor (CVE-2019-18676)

• squid: Cross-Site Request Forgery issue in HTTP Request processing (CVE-2019-18677)

• squid: HTTP Request Splitting issue in HTTP message processing (CVE-2019-18678)

• squid: Information Disclosure issue in HTTP Digest Authentication (CVE-2019-18679)

• squid: Mishandled HTML in the host parameter to cachemgr.cgi results in insecure behaviour (CVE-2019-18860)

• squid: Improper input validation issues in HTTP Request processing (CVE-2020-8449)

• squid: Buffer overflow in reverse-proxy configurations (CVE-2020-8450)

• squid: DoS in TLS handshake (CVE-2020-14058)

• squid: Request smuggling and poisoning attack against the HTTP cache (CVE-2020-15049)

• squid: Improper input validation could result in a DoS (CVE-2020-24606)

Updated squid packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Jeriko One discovered that Squid incorrectly handled memory when connected to an FTP server. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information from Squid memory (CVE-2019-12528).

Regis Leroy discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access server resources prohibited by earlier security filters (CVE-2020-8449).

Guido Vranken discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain buffer operations when acting as a reverse proxy. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2020-8450).

Aaron Costello discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain NTLM authentication credentials. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2020-8517).
