Description

The FwdState::connectedToPeer method in FwdState.cc in Squid before 3.5.14 and 4.0.x before 4.0.6 does not properly handle SSL handshake errors when built with the --with-openssl option, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a plaintext HTTP message.

Affected configurations

• squid-cache squid (<= 3.5.13) • squid-cache squid 4.0.4 • squid-cache squid 4.0.5
