Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: squid security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:201-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-201.html
Issue date: 2005-03-16
Updated on: 2005-03-16
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2005-0446
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
An updated squid package that fixes a denial of service issue is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache.
A bug was found in the way Squid handles fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
lookups. A malicious DNS server could crash Squid by sending a carefully
crafted DNS response to an FQDN lookup. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0446 to
this issue.
This erratum also includes two minor patches to the LDAP helpers. One
corrects a slight malformation in ldap search requests (although all
known LDAP servers accept the requests). The other adds documentation
for the -v option to the ldap helpers.
Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date

following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
