CVE Details

Release Date:	2007-12-04
Impact:	Moderate	What is this?

Description

The cache update reply processing functionality in Squid 2.x before 2.6.STABLE17 and Squid 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors related to HTTP headers and an Array memory leak during requests for cached objects. The arrayShrink function (lib/Array.c) in Squid 2.6.STABLE17 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (process exit) via unknown vectors that cause an array to shrink to 0 entries, which triggers an assert error. NOTE: this issue is due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2007-6239.
