Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2020-8450: An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.10. Due to incorrect buffer management, a remote client can cause a buffer overflow in a Squid instance acting as a reverse proxy. 1798552: CVE-2020-8450 squid: Buffer overflow in a Squid acting as reverse-proxy CVE-2019-18679: An issue was discovered in Squid 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x through 4.8. Due to incorrect data management, it is vulnerable to information disclosure when processing HTTP Digest Authentication. Nonce tokens contain the raw byte value of a pointer that sits within heap memory allocation. This information reduces ASLR protections and may aid attackers isolating memory areas to target for remote code execution attacks. 1770360: CVE-2019-18679 squid: Information Disclosure issue in HTTP Digest Authentication CVE-2019-12528: An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.10. It allows a crafted FTP server to trigger disclosure of sensitive information from heap memory, such as information associated with other users' sessions or non-Squid processes. 1798534: CVE-2019-12528 squid: Information Disclosure issue in FTP Gateway CVE-2018-1172: This vulnerability allows remote attackers to deny service on vulnerable installations of The Squid Software Foundation Squid 3.5.27-20180318. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within ClientRequestContext::sslBumpAccessCheck(). A crafted request can trigger the dereference of a null pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition to users of the system. Was ZDI-CAN-6088. 1569424: CVE-2018-1172 squid: Incorrect pointer handling when processing ESI responses allows denial of service
