http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12526
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to incorrect buffer management Squid is vulnerable to a
heap overflow and possible remote code execution attack when
processing URN.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
This allows a malicious client to write a substantial amount of
arbitrary data to the heap. Potentially gaining ability to
execute arbitrary code.
On systems with memory access protections this can result in
the Squid process being terminated unexpectedly. Resulting in a
denial of service for all clients using the proxy.
__________________________________________________________________
Updated Packages:
This bug is fixed by Squid version 4.9.
In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable
releases can be found in our patch archives:
