Subject:                UnixWare 7.1.4 : squid updated package fixes several 
security issues
Advisory number:        SCOSA-2005.16
Issue date:             2005 February 11
Cross reference:        sr890343 fz529457 erg712610 sr892199 fz530514 erg712740 
CAN-2004-0189 CAN-2004-0918
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

        The asn_parse_header function (asn1.c) in the SNMP module
        for Squid Web Proxy Cache before 2.4.STABLE7 allows remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (server restart) via
        certain SNMP packets with negative length fields that causes
        a memory allocation error. 

        The "%xx" URL decoding function in Squid 2.5STABLE4 and earlier 
        allows remote attackers to bypass url_regex ACLs via a URL with 
        a NULL ("%00") character, which causes Squid to use only a 
        portion of the requested URL when comparing it against the 
        access control lists. 

        The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
        has assigned the name CAN-2004-0189 and CAN-2004-0918 to this issues.
