Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.142628
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Squid Security Update Advisory SQUID-2018:5
Summary:Squid is prone to a denial of service vulnerability due to a memory leak; in the SNMP query rejection code.
Description:Summary:
Squid is prone to a denial of service vulnerability due to a memory leak
in the SNMP query rejection code.

Vulnerability Insight:
This problem allows a remote attacker to consume all memory available to the
Squid process, causing it to crash.

In environments where per-process memory restrictions are not enforced strictly, or configured to large values
this may also affect other processes operating on the same machine. Leading to a much worse denial of service
situation.

This problem is limited to Squid built with SNMP support and receiving SNMP traffic.

Affected Software/OS:
Squid versions 3.2.0.10 - 3.5.28, 4.x - 4.3.

Solution:
Update to version 4.4 or later.

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
