Package : squid Vulnerability : design flaw Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2005-1345 Debian Bug : 307132
Michael Bhola discovered a bug in Squid, the popular WWW proxy cache. Squid does not trigger a fatal error when it identifies missing or invalid ACLs in the http_access configuration, which could lead to less restrictive ACLs than intended by the administrator.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.6-2woody8.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.9-7.
We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.
