HTTP request smuggling in Squid

This security advisory describes one medium risk vulnerability.


1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests


Risk: Medium


CVSSv3: 6.3 [CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C] [PCI]


CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25097


CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')


Exploit availability: No


Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.


The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.


Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
