Denial of Service Vulnerability in Squid Proxy Server

CVE-2016-2569 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 does not properly append data to String objects, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a long string, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header.
