Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:201
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:201. Squid is a full-featured Web proxy cache. A bug was found in the way Squid handles fully qualified domain name (FQDN) lookups. A malicious DNS server could crash Squid by sending a carefully crafted DNS response to an FQDN lookup. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0446 to this issue. This erratum also includes two minor patches to the LDAP helpers. One corrects a slight malformation in ldap search requests (although all known LDAP servers accept the requests). The other adds documentation for the -v option to the ldap helpers. Users of Squid should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-201.html http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/#squid-2.5.STABLE8-dns_assert Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
