Hello,

sometimes, for about half an hour, tour Squid becomes unstable and, by typing "top -s", Squid is taking the 100% of the CPU.

In Squid's access.log, i see lots of entry like this:

"Thu";"Oct";"22";"11:45:17";"2015";"21328";"192.168.1.250";"TCP_MISS/000";"0";"GET";"http://192.168.1.254:8080/cgi-bin/a2/out.cgi";"-";"DIRECT/192.168.1.254";"-"

There seem be a possible attack/exploit from an internal machine? It is the 192.168.1.250 in the example.

Is there a patch or something to not spread up Squid to the 100% cpu limit for these "Attacks"?

Thank you!
Francesco
