Originally, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-5643">CVE-2012-5643</a> (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed bz_public " title="CLOSED ERRATA - CVE-2012-5643 squid: cachemgr.cgi memory usage DoS and memory leaks" href="show_bug.cgi?id=887962">bug #887962</a>) to the following vulnerability: Multiple memory leaks in tools/cachemgr.cc in cachemgr.cgi in Squid 2.x and 3.x before 3.1.22, 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and 3.3.x before 3.3.0.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via (1) invalid Content-Length headers, (2) long POST requests, or (3) crafted authentication credentials. Later it was found the upstream patch for <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-5643">CVE-2012-5643</a> issue to be incomplete, resulting in new patchset: [1] <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~squid/squid/3.2/revision/11743">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~squid/squid/3.2/revision/11743</a> [2] <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~squid/squid/3.2/revision/11744">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~squid/squid/3.2/revision/11744</a> The CVE identifier of <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2013-0189">CVE-2013-0189</a> has been assigned to this new issue (and new patchset).
