Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52116
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2005:948
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2005:948.

Squid[1] is a full-featured web proxy cache.

This announcement upgrades Squid from 2.5STABLE5 to 2.5STABLE9 in
order to fix bug #13718[2] and also fixes the two following
vulnerabilities:

1.Unexpected access control results on configuration errors[3]
On configuration errors involving wrongly defined or missing acls
the http_access results may be different than expected, possibly
allowing more access than intended. This patch makes such
configuration errors a fatal error, preventing the service from
starting until the access control configuration errors have been
corrected.

2.Race condition related to Set-Cookie header[4]
A race window has been discovered where Set-Cookie headers may leak
to another users if the requested server relies on the old (obsolete
since 1997) Netscape Set-Cookie specifications in how caches should
handle the Set-Cookie header on otherwise cacheable content.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
