Title:Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2004-0033 (squid)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2004-0033.

Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Squid Web
Proxy Cache could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Squid Web Proxy Cache supports Basic, Digest and NTLM authentication.
The vulnerability specifically exists within the NTLM authentication
helper routine, ntlm_check_auth(), located in
helpers/ntlm_auth/SMB/libntlmssp.c

The function contains a buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of
bounds checking on the values copied to the 'pass' variable. Both the
'tmp.str' and 'tmp.l' variables used in the memcpy() call contain
user-supplied data.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
