Encoding headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP
request smuggling attacks, bypass security mechanisms, or poison web
caches. (CVE-2026-61642)

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain cache digest
replies, which could lead to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could

service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-50012)

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled parsing certain FTP
directory listings. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-47729)

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain ICP traffic. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Squid to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04
LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-32748,
CVE-2026-33526)
