1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU51248

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25097

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

Exploit availability: No

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53017

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28651

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when resolving "urn:" resource identifiers. A remote attacker can trick a user behind the proxy server to click on a specially crafted "urn:" link that leads to a server under attacker's control and force Squid to consume arbitrarily large amounts of memory on the server. 

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.15

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28652

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak due to incorrect parser validation in Cache Manager API. A remote trusted client with Cache Manager API access privilege can perform denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53018

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28662

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing HTTP responses. A remote attacker who controls a malicious web page can send specially crafted HTTP response and perform a denial of service attack against the proxy server. The issue trigger is a header which can be expected to exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent by the server.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31806

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31808

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote client to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
