CVE-2016-2569 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:17.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream squid3 package and not the squid3 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 does not properly append data to String objects, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a long string, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header.
