Mandrake Linux Security Advisory: squid

______________________________________________________________________

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________

Package name:           squid
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:027
Date:                   April 16th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:
A security issue has recently been found and fixed in the Squid-2.X
releases up to and including 2.4.STABLE4.

Error and boundary conditions were not checked when handling compressed
DNS answer messages in the internal DNS code (lib/rfc1035.c).  A
malicous DNS server could craft a DNS reply that causes Squid to exit
with a SIGSEGV.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.  The verification of md5
checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  A list of
FTP mirrors can be obtained from:

  http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ftp.php

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:

  rpm --checksig

All packages are signed by MandrakeSoft for security.  You can obtain
the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team from:

  https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
