Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Squid, a full featured web proxy cache. Due to programming errors in Squid's HTTP request parsing, remote attackers may be able to execute a denial of service attack by sending large X-Forwarded-For header or trigger a stack buffer overflow while performing HTTP Digest authentication. Other issues facilitate request smuggling past a firewall or a denial of service against Squid's Helper process management.
In regard to CVE-2023-46728: Please note that support for the Gopher protocol has simply been removed in future Squid versions. There are no plans by the upstream developers of Squid to fix this issue.
