Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54157
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2002:008 (squid)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2002:008.

The widely used proxy-server squid contains a heap overflow in one of its
URL constructing functions. Incorrect length-calculations for the user and
passwd fields in ftp-URLs turned out to be the origin of the problem. Only
users from hosts listed in squids ACL-files could trigger the overflow.

The ftp-URL problem is not present in the 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1 distributions,
but other security releated bugs have been fixed there.
