MDKSA-2004:025: squid |

Check for the version of the squid package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:025 (squid). A vulnerability was discovered in squid version 2.5.STABLE4 and earlier with the processing of %-encoded characters in a URL. If a squid configuration uses ACLs (Access Control Lists), it is possible for a remote attacker to create URLs that would not be properly tested against squid's ACLs, potentially permiting clients to access URLs that would otherwise be dispermited. As well, the provided packages for Mandrake Linux 9.2 and 9.1 include a new Access Control type called 'urllogin' which can be used to protect vulnerable Microsoft Internet Explorer clients from accessing URLs that contain login information. While this Access Control type is available, it is not used in the default configuration. The updated packages are patched to protect against these vulnerabilities.
