CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade squid to version 7.5 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via improper input validation in ICP traffic. An attacker can access sensitive information by sending specially crafted ICP requests. This is only exploitable if ICP support is explicitly enabled by setting icp_port to a non-zero value in the configuration.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling ICP support by setting icp_port to 0 or commenting out the icp_port directive in the configuration file and restarting the service.
