CVE-2005-0194

First published: Sun Feb 06 2005(Updated: )

Squid 2.5, when processing the configuration file, parses empty Access Control Lists (ACLs), including proxy_auth ACLs without defined auth schemes, in a way that effectively removes arguments, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended ACLs if the administrator ignores the parser warnings.
