Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51178
Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:462
Summary:	Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:462
Description:	The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2004:462. Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache. An out of bounds memory read bug was found within the NTLM authentication helper routine. If Squid is configured to use the NTLM authentication helper, a remote attacker could send a carefully crafted NTLM authentication packet and cause Squid to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0832 to this issue. Note: The NTLM authentication helper is not enabled by default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is not vulnerable to this issue as it shipped with a version of Squid which did not contain the vulnerable helper. Users of Squid should update to this erratum package, which contains a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-462.html http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1045 Risk factor : Medium
