SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1011815
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1011815
CVE Reference:   CAN-2004-0918   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Oct 20 2004
Impact:   Denial of service via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 2.5-STABLE6, 3.0-PRE3-20040702; when compiled with SNMP support
Description:   iDEFENSE reported a vulnerability in Squid in the SNMP service. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.

It is reported that a remote user can supply a specially crafted SNMP packet to trigger an ASN1 parsing error and cause Squid to restart, dropping all current connections.

The flaw resides in the asn_parse_header() function in 'snmplib/asn1.c'.

The system is affected if compiled with SNMP support.

The vendor was notified on September 15, 2004.

The original advisory is available at:

http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=152&type=vulnerabilities

Impact:   A remote user can cause the proxy services to restart.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

3. Problem description:

Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache.

iDEFENSE reported a flaw in the squid SNMP module.  This flaw could allow
an attacker who has the ability to send arbitrary packets to the SNMP port
to restart the server, causing it to drop all open connections.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0918 to this issue.

All users of squid should update to this erratum package, which contains a
backport of the security fix for this vulnerability.
