Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-0173, CVE-2005-0175, CVE-2005-0194, CVE-2005-0211.
CERT's vulnerabilities, advisories and incident notes: VU#924198, VU#625878, VU#886006.

More information:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, the internet object cache, the popular WWW proxy cache. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2005-0173
LDAP is very forgiving about spaces in search filters and this could be abused to log in using several variants of the login name, possibly bypassing explicit access controls or confusing accounting.
CAN-2005-0175
Cache pollution/poisoning via HTTP response splitting has been discovered.
CAN-2005-0194
The meaning of the access controls becomes somewhat confusing if any of the referenced ACLs (access control lists) is declared empty, without any members.
CAN-2005-0211
The length argument of the WCCP recvfrom() call is larger than it should be. An attacker may send a larger than normal WCCP packet that could overflow a buffer.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.6-2woody6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.7-7.

We recommend that you upgrade your squid package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
