Details

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain malformed packets
received on the HTCP port. A remote attacker could exploit this with a
specially-crafted packet and cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of
service.

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

Ubuntu 9.10

• squid - 2.7.STABLE6-2ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 9.04

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