Squid's ICAP Implementation Lacks Defer Check When Reading From ICAP
Server
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
A vulnerability in Squid's ICAP implementation allows attackers to cause
Squid to consume large amounts of memory.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Squid version 2.5
* Squid version 2.6
Squid's ICAP implementation does not check mem-store size before reading
from an ICAP-server. If the user does not confirm browsers
download-message-box, Squid keeps on reading data from the ICAP server
into the memory store, whilst no more data can be delivered to the client.
Thus the memory store is growing and Squid may - in worst case - consume
memory up to the size of the users download.
