+ <title>Squid ACL [url_regex] bypass vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Squid versions 2.0 through to 2.5.STABLE4 could allow a remote attacker to
+ bypass Access Control Lists by sending a specially-crafted URL request
+ containing '%00': in such circumstances; the url_regex ACL may not properly
+ detect the malicious URL, allowing the attacker to effectively bypass the
+ ACL.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Squid is a fully-featured Web Proxy Cache designed to run on Unix systems
+ that supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs, as well as
+ SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access control lists
+ and many other features.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A bug in Squid allows users to bypass certain access controls by passing a
+ URL containing "%00" which exploits the Squid decoding function.
+ This may insert a NUL character into decoded URLs, which may allow users to
+ bypass url_regex access control lists that are enforced upon them.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In such a scenario, Squid will insert a NUL character after
+ the"%00" and it will make a comparison between the URL to the end
+ of the NUL character rather than the contents after it: the comparison does
+ not result in a match, and the user's request is not denied.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Restricted users may be able to bypass url_regex access control lists that
+ are enforced upon them which may cause unwanted network traffic as well as
+ a route for other possible exploits. Users of Squid 2.5STABLE4 and below
+ who require the url_regex features are recommended to upgrade to 2.5STABLE5
+ to maintain the security of their infrastructure.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
+ to upgrade to the latest version of Squid.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ Squid can be updated as follows:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-proxy/squid-2.5.5"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-proxy/squid-2.5.5"</code>
