SquidClamav is a HTTP anti-virus for Squid based on ClamAV and ICAP.

SquidClamav does not properly escape URLs before passing them to the system command call.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to SquidClamav, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All SquidClamav users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/squidclamav-6.8"
