CVE-2009-0801

Publication date 4 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header.

Notes

sbeattie

according to squid bug report, fixed in squid 3.2, which hasn't us yet; bug report notes to *not* backport fix

mdeslaur

upstream doesn't consider the issue important enough to create a fix for <3.2. We aren't going to fix either.
