Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: squid security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2015:2378-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-2378.html
Issue date: 2015-11-19
CVE Names: CVE-2015-3455
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
Updated squid packages that fix one security issue and two bugs are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security
impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the
References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - aarch64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7) - aarch64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 7) - x86_64
3. Description:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
supporting FTP, Gopher, and HTTP data objects.
It was found that Squid configured with client-first SSL-bump did not
correctly validate X.509 server certificate host name fields. A
man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof a Squid server
using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2015-3455)
This update fixes the following bugs:
* Previously, the squid process did not handle file descriptors correctly
when receiving Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests. As a
consequence, the process gradually accumulated open file descriptors. This
bug has been fixed and squid now handles SNMP requests correctly, closing
file descriptors when necessary. (BZ#1198778)
* Under high system load, the squid process sometimes terminated
unexpectedly with a segmentation fault during reboot. This update provides
better memory handling during reboot, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#1225640)
Users of squid are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs. After installing this update, the squid service will be
restarted automatically.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
