Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid-sysvinit package and not the squid-sysvinit package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Squid is an open source caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. Due to Input Validation, Premature Release of Resource During Expected Lifetime, and Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime bugs, Squid is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks by a trusted server against all clients using the proxy. This bug is fixed in the default build configuration of Squid version 6.10.
