__________________________________________________________________

Advisory ID:        SQUID-2015:3
Date:               September 17, 2015
Summary:            Multiple Remote Denial of service issues
                    in SSL/TLS processing.
Affected versions:  Squid 3.5.0.1 -> 3.5.8
Fixed in version:   Squid 3.5.9

Problem Description:

 Due to integer overflow issues Squid is vulnerable to a denial
 of service attack when processing SSL or TLS messages.

 Due to lack of input validation Squid is vulnerable to a denial
 of service attack when processing SSL or TLS messages.

__________________________________________________________________

Severity:

 These problems allow any trusted client or external server to
 perform a denial of service attack on the Squid service and all
 other services on the same machine.
 
 There exists popular software which triggers these bugs
 unintentionally.
 
 However, the bugs are exploitable only if you have configured a
 Squid-3.5 listening port with ssl-bump.

__________________________________________________________________

Updated Packages:

 These bugs are fixed by Squid version 3.5.9.

 If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer
 to the package vendor for availability information on updated
 packages.

__________________________________________________________________

Determining if your version is vulnerable:

 All Squid-3.4 and older versions are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.5 built without OpenSSL support are not vulnerable.

 All unpatched Squid-3.5 with http_port or https_port configured
 with the ssl-bump option in squid.conf are vulnerable.

 The following command can be used to easily determine if a
 vulnerable configuration is being used:
 squid -k parse 2>&1 | grep ssl-bump

__________________________________________________________________

Workaround:

 Remove ssl-bump configuration options from squid.conf
