Details

Joshua Morin, Mikko Varpiola and Jukka Taimisto discovered that Squid did
not properly validate the HTTP version when processing requests. A remote
attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (assertion failure).

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.10

• squid - 2.7.STABLE3-1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
