DSA 2040-1: New squidguard packages fix several vulnerabilities

Posted by Bob on: 05/02/2010 02:05 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Debian Security Advisory DSA-2040-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Sébastien Delafond
May 02, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : squidguard
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-2009-3700, CVE-2009-3826
Debian Bug : 553319

It was discovered that in squidguard, a URL redirector/filter/ACL plugin
for squid, several problems in src/sgLog.c and src/sgDiv.c allow remote
users to either:

* cause a denial of service, by requesting long URLs containing many
slashes; this forces the daemon into emergency mode, where it does
not process requests anymore.

* bypass rules by requesting URLs whose length is close to predefined
buffer limits, in this case 2048 for squidguard and 4096 or 8192 for
squid (depending on its version).

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.0-8.4+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.0-9.

We recommend that you upgrade your squidguard package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.


Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
- --------------------------------

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
