NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid:4/libecap package and not the squid:4/libecap package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to incorrect string termination, Squid cachemgr.cgi 4.0 through 4.7 may access unallocated memory. On systems with memory access protections, this can cause the CGI process to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service for all clients using it.
