Amazon Linux AMI update for squid

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU25019

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12528

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when translating FTP server listing into HTTP responses. A remote attacker can trick the victim into vising a specially crafted FTP server, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to memory contents of the heap.

2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU29391

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15049

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
