+ <title>Squid: Remote DoS vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Squid contains a vulnerability in the SNMP module which may lead to a
+ denial of service.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache designed to run on Unix
+ systems. It supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs,
+ as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access
+ control lists and many other features.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A parsing error exists in the SNMP module of Squid where a
+ specially-crafted UDP packet can potentially cause the server to
+ restart, closing all current connections. This vulnerability only
+ exists in versions of Squid compiled with the 'snmp' USE flag.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker can repeatedly send these malicious UDP packets to the
+ Squid server, leading to a denial of service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable SNMP support or filter the port that has SNMP processing
+ (default is 3401) to allow only SNMP data from trusted hosts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To disable SNMP support put the entry snmp_port 0 in the squid.conf
+ configuration file.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To allow only the local interface to process SNMP, add the entry
+ "snmp_incoming_address 127.0.0.1" in the squid.conf configuration file.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Squid users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-proxy/squid-2.5.7"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-proxy/squid-2.5.7"</code>
+ </resolution>
