Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72084
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:193 (squid)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to squid
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:193.

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in squid:

The idnsGrokReply function in Squid before 3.1.16 does not properly
free memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (daemon abort) via a DNS reply containing a CNAME record
that references another CNAME record that contains an empty A record
(CVE-2011-4096).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2011.

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
