NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid3 package and not the squid3 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The Edge Side Includes (ESI) parser in Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 does not check buffer limits during XML parsing, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted XML document, related to esi/CustomParser.cc and esi/CustomParser.h.
