What is CVE-2020-14058?

A vulnerability in Squid Proxy Server prior to version 4.12 and 5.x before 5.0.3 enables an attacker to trigger a Denial of Service when a TLS connection is initiated to a maliciously crafted server. The flaw arises from the mishandling of unrecognized error values within the default certificate validation helper component, leading to a NULL mapping. Subsequent code that expects valid error string mappings results in the application becoming unresponsive.
