Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.58887
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0131
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2007:0131.

Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Squid processed the TRACE
request method. It was possible for an attacker behind the Squid proxy
to issue a malformed TRACE request, crashing the Squid daemon child
process. As long as these requests were sent, it would prevent
legitimate usage of the proxy server. (CVE-2007-1560)

This flaw does not affect the version of Squid shipped in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 4.

Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated 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
