NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid34 package and not the squid34 package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

client_side.cc in Squid before 3.5.18 and 4.x before 4.0.10 does not properly ignore the Host header when absolute-URI is provided, which allows remote attackers to conduct cache-poisoning attacks via an HTTP request.
