http.cc in Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 proceeds with the storage of certain data after a response-parsing failure, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed response.
Squid 3.1 before 3.3.12 and 3.4 before 3.4.4, when SSL-Bump is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure) via a crafted range request, related to state management.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Squid proxy caching server internally processed NULL buffers. A remote, trusted client could use this flaw to cause squid daemon crash (dereference NULL pointer) when processing specially-crafted request.
