http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12519
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-12521
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to incorrect buffer handling Squid is vulnerable to cache
poisoning, remote execution, and denial of service attacks when
processing ESI responses.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
These problems allow a remote server delivering certain ESI
response syntax to trigger a buffer overflow.
On systems with heap overflow protection overflow will shutdown
the proxy causing a denial of service for all clients accessing
the Squid service.
On systems with ESI buffer pooling (the default) overflow will
truncate portions of generated payloads. Poisoning the HTTP
response cache with corrupted objects.
The CVE-2019-12519 issue also overwrites arbitrary attacker
controlled information onto the process stack. Allowing remote
code execution with certain crafted ESI payloads.
These problems are restricted to ESI responses received from an
upstream server. Attackers have to compromise the server or
transmission channel to utilize these vulnerabilities.

All Squid built with --disable-esi are not vulnerable.
All Squid-3.0 versions built without --enable-esi are not
vulnerable.
All Squid-3.x versions built with --enable-esi are vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including Squid-4.10 are vulnerable.
Squid-5.0.1 is not vulnerable to the CVE-2019-12519 remote code
execution issue.
Squid-5.0.1 is vulnerable to the CVE-2019-12521 issues.
__________________________________________________________________
Workaround:
Build Squid with --disable-esi
