    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12524
__________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Due to incorrect URL handling Squid is vulnerable to access
 control bypass, cache poisoning and cross-site scripting attacks
 when processing HTTP Request messages.

__________________________________________________________________

Severity:

 A remote client can deliver crafted URLs to bypass cache manager
 security controls and retrieve confidential details about the
 proxy and traffic it is handling.

 A remote client can deliver crafted URLs which cause arbitrary
 content from one origin server to be stored in cache as URLs
 within another origin. This opens a window of opportunity for
 clients to be tricked into fetching and XSS execution of that
 content via side channels.

__________________________________________________________________

Updated Packages:

 This bug is fixed by Squid version 4.8.

 In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable
 releases can be found in our patch archives:

Squid 4:
 <http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/changesets/SQUID-2019_4.patch>

 to the package vendor for availability information on updated
 packages.
