CVE-2020-8517
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—
An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.10. Due to incorrect input validation, the NTLM authentication credentials parser in ext_lm_group_acl may write to memory outside the credentials buffer. On systems with memory access protections, this can result in the helper process being terminated unexpectedly. This leads to the Squid process also terminating and a denial of service for all clients using the proxy.

Debido a una comprobación de entrada incorrecta, el analizador de credenciales de autenticación NTLM en la función ext_lm_group_acl puede escribir en la memoria fuera del búfer de credenciales. En sistemas con protecciones de acceso a la memoria, esto puede resultar en que el proceso auxiliar termine inesperadamente. Esto conlleva a que el proceso de Squid también termine y a una denegación de servicio para todos los clientes que están usando el proxy."
