<https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/security/advisories/GHSA-qvf6-485q-vm57>
__________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Due to use of a potentially dangerous function Squid and the
 default certificate validation helper are vulnerable to a Denial
 of Service attack when processing TLS certificates.

__________________________________________________________________

Severity:

 This problem allows a trusted client to perform Denial of Service
 when opening TLS connections with a server for HTTPS.

 This problem allows a trusted client to perform Denial of Service
 when opening TLS connections to a server for SSL-Bump intercepted
 transactions.

 This attack is limited to Squid built with OpenSSL features and
 opening peer or server connections for HTTPS traffic and SSL-Bump
 server handshakes.

 CVSS Score of 8.3

 If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer
 to the package vendor for availability information on updated
 packages.

__________________________________________________________________

Determining if your version is vulnerable:

 All Squid-2.x up to and including 2.7.STABLE9 are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built without
 --enable-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built with
 --disable-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.4.14 built with
 --enable-openssl are vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built without
 --with-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built with
 --without-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-3.5 up to and including 3.5.28 built with
 --with-openssl are vulnerable.

 All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built without
 --with-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built with
 --without-openssl are not vulnerable.

 All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.11 built with --with-openssl
 are vulnerable.

 Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built without --with-openssl are not
 vulnerable.

 Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built with --without-openssl are not
 vulnerable.

 Squid-5.0.1 and 5.0.2 built with --with-openssl are vulnerable.

__________________________________________________________________

Workaround:

 * For interception proxies using SSL-Bump functionality there is
   no workaround.

 * For reverse-proxy the GnuTLS support available in Squid-4 may
   provide sufficient functionality. The vulnerable certificate
   validator helper feature is not supported yet by GnuTLS builds.

 * Other installations just needing to relay HTTPS do not need
   OpenSSL support and should be able to run a build that does not
   have --with-openssl.
