Buffer overflow in cachemgr.cgi in Squid 2.x, 3.x before 3.5.17, and 4.x before 4.0.9 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by seeding manager reports with crafted data.
Due to buffer overflow issues Squid is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing ESI responses.
Due to incorrect input validation Squid is vulnerable to public information disclosure of the server stack layout when processing ESI responses.
Due to incorrect input validation and buffer overflow Squid is vulnerable to remote code execution when processing ESI responses.

Buffer overflow in Squid 3.x before 3.5.17 and 4.x before 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Edge Side Includes (ESI) responses.
Double free vulnerability in Esi.cc in Squid 3.x before 3.5.18 and 4.x before 4.0.10 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Edge Side Includes (ESI) response.

An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.15 and 5.x before 5.0.6. An integer overflow problem allows a remote server to achieve Denial of Service when delivering responses to HTTP Range requests. The issue trigger is a header that can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the CGI Cache Manager of the Squid proxy caching server processed certain requests. A remote attacker could this this flaw to cause the squid service to consume excessive amount of resources.

Upstream patches: [4] http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.1/changesets/squid-3.1-10479.patch (against the 3.1 branch) [5] http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.2/changesets/squid-3.2-11714.patch (against the 3.2 branch)
Squid 3.0 through 3.0.STABLE16 and 3.1 through 3.1.0.11 does not properly enforce "buffer limits and related bound checks," which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) an incomplete request or (2) a request with a large header size, related to (a) HttpMsg.cc and (b) clientside.cc.
Squid 3.0 through 3.0.STABLE16 and 3.1 through 3.1.0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed requests including (1) "missing or mismatched protocol identifier," (2) missing or negative status value," (3) "missing version," or (4) "missing or invalid status number," related to (a) HttpMsg.cc and (b) HttpReply.cc.
The idnsGrokReply function in Squid before 3.1.16 does not properly free memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon abort) via a DNS reply containing a CNAME record that references another CNAME record that contains an empty A record.
Squid 3.x before 3.5.17 and 4.x before 4.0.9 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive stack layout information via crafted Edge Side Includes (ESI) responses, related to incorrect use of assert and compiler optimization.
