Details
A remote Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in Squid.
If the remote end aborted the connection during a PUT or POST request,
Squid tried to free an already freed part of memory, which eventually
caused the server to crash.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 4.10
-
squid
-
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
