 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2013:013
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : squid
 Date    : February 20, 2013
 Affected: 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in squid
 (cachemgr.cgi):

 Multiple memory leaks in tools/cachemgr.cc in cachemgr.cgi in Squid
 2.x and 3.x before 3.1.22, 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and 3.3.x before
 3.3.0.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
 consumption) via (1) invalid Content-Length headers, (2) long POST
 requests, or (3) crafted authentication credentials (CVE-2012-5643).

 cachemgr.cgi in Squid 3.1.x and 3.2.x, possibly 3.1.22, 3.2.4, and
 other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
 (resource consumption) via a crafted request.  NOTE: this issue is
 due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2012-5643, possibly involving an
 incorrect order of arguments or incorrect comparison (CVE-2013-0189).

 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
