Advisory number: CSSA-2002-046.0

1. Problem Description
From the Squid Team's SQUID-2002:3 advisory:
- Several bugfixes and cleanup of the Gopher client, both to
correct some security issues and to make Squid properly render
certain Gopher menus.
- Security fixes in how Squid parses FTP directory listings
into HTML.
- FTP data channels are now sanity checked to match the
address of the requested FTP server. This to prevent theft or
injection of data. See the new ftp_sanitycheck directive if
this sanity check is not desired.
- The MSNT auth helper has been updated to v2.0.3+fixes for
buffer overflow security issues found in this helper.
- A security issue in how Squid forwards proxy authentication
credentials has been fixed.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to squid-2.5-20020429.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to squid-2.5-20020429.i386.rpm
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
