Squid: dos against http and https
CVE-2023-5824
7.5HIGH
Key Information:
What is CVE-2023-5824?
A flaw exists in the Squid caching proxy server that may permit an attacker to exploit limits meant for validating HTTP response headers. During caching operations, these limits are bypassed, potentially allowing a cached HTTP response header to exceed its maximum size. This can lead to a stall or crash of the worker process when a large header is accessed from the disk cache, resulting in a denial of service and affecting the server's normal operation.
