[SECURITY] [DLA 445-2] squid3 regression update

Recommended Posts

Package : squid3

Version : 3.1.6-1.2+squeeze7

CVE ID : CVE-2016-2569

Debian Bug : 816601

 

The backported patch to solve CVE-2016-2569 yielded to failed assertions

that made squid3 to crash when closing connections. The fix for this CVE

strongly relies on exception handling present in more recent versions of

squid3, that I failed to identify in the previous update. I have

reverted the patch to take the safest position, taking into account that

Squeeze users should migrate to a supported version of Debian. This

post-EOL update is intended to keep a functional squid3 package in the

archive.
