			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		UnixWare 7.1.4 : squid updated package fixes several security issues
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.16
Issue date: 		2005 February 11
Cross reference:	sr890343 fz529457 erg712610 sr892199 fz530514 erg712740 CAN-2004-0189 CAN-2004-0918
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	The asn_parse_header function (asn1.c) in the SNMP module
	for Squid Web Proxy Cache before 2.4.STABLE7 allows remote
	attackers to cause a denial of service (server restart) via
	certain SNMP packets with negative length fields that causes
	a memory allocation error. 

	The "%xx" URL decoding function in Squid 2.5STABLE4 and earlier 
	allows remote attackers to bypass url_regex ACLs via a URL with 
	a NULL ("%00") character, which causes Squid to use only a 
	portion of the requested URL when comparing it against the 
	access control lists. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the name CAN-2004-0189 and CAN-2004-0918 to this issues.
