CVE-2005-0211: Buffer Overflow
First published: Sun Feb 06 2005(Updated: )
Buffer overflow in wccp.c in Squid 2.5 before 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long WCCP packet, which is processed by a recvfrom function call that uses an incorrect length parameter.
