Problem Description:

 Due to incorrect input handling, Squid is vulnerable to a
 Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability when generating HTTPS response
 messages about TLS errors.

__________________________________________________________________

Severity:

 This problem allows a malicious HTTPS server to trigger error
 page delivery to a client and also inject arbitrary HTML code
 into the resulting error response.

 This problem is limited to Squid built with TLS / SSL support.

__________________________________________________________________

Updated Packages:

 This bug is fixed by Squid version 4.4.

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