Synopsis
========

Squid contains a bug where it fails to properly check bounds of the
'pass' variable.

Background
==========

Squid contains a bug in the function ntlm_check_auth(). It fails to do
proper bounds checking on the values copyied to the 'pass' variable.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package        /   Vulnerable   /                      Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-www/squid      <= 2.5.5-r1                        >= 2.5.5-r2

Description
===========

Squid is a full-featured Web Proxy Cache designed to run on Unix
systems. It supports proxying and caching of HTTP, FTP, and other URLs,
as well as SSL support, cache hierarchies, transparent caching, access
control lists and many other features.

Impact
======

If Squid is configured to use NTLM authentication, an attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by sending a very long password. This could
lead to arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user
running Squid.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version.

Resolution
==========

All Squid users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

    # emerge sync

    # emerge -pv ">=net-www/squid-2.5.5-r2"
    # emerge ">=net-www/squid-2.5.5-r2"
