NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid package and not the squid package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the munge_other_line function in cachemgr.cgi in the squid package before 3.1.23-16.el6_8.6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2016-4051.
