aru Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:025 : squid March 30th, 2004 Updated squid packages fix vulnerability A vulnerability was discovered in squid version 2.5.STABLE4 and earlier with the processing of %-encoded characters in a URL. If a squid configuration uses ACLs (Access Control Lists), it is possible for a remote attacker to create URLs that would not be properly tested against squid's ACLs, potentially allowing clients to access URLs that would otherwise be disallowed. As well, the provided packages for Mandrake Linux 9.2 and 9.1 include a new Access Control type called "urllogin" which can be used to protect vulnerable Microsoft Internet Explorer clients from accessing URLs that contain login information. While this Access Control type is available, it is not used in the default configuration. The updated packages are patched to protect against these vulnerabilities. The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are: 9.1 9.2 9.2/AMD64 Multi Network Firewall 8.2 Corporate Server 2.1 10.0 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2004:025 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2004-0189 http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2004_1.txt http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/spoof.asp Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v0.0.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
