Security Advisory #2004-010

Package name: squid
Summary: Arbitary Code Execution
Advisory ID: TSSA-2004-010
Date: 2004-06-09
Affected versions: tinysofa enterprise server 1.0 tinysofa enterprise server 1.0-U1


Security Fixes

Description

squid:

  • Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Squid Web Proxy Cache [0] could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. Squid Web Proxy Cache supports Basic, Digest and NTLM authentication. The vulnerability specifically exists within the NTLM authentication helper routine, ntlm_check_auth(), located in helpers/ntlm_auth/SMB/libntlmssp.c:
    char *ntlm_check_auth(ntlm_authenticate * auth, int auth_length)
    {
        int rv;
        char pass[25] /*, encrypted_pass[40] */;
        char *domain =3D credentials;
        ...
        memcpy(pass, tmp.str, tmp.l);
        ...

The function contains a buffer overflow vulnerability due to a lack of bounds checking on the values copied to the 'pass' variable. Both the 'tmp.str' and 'tmp.l' variables used in the memcpy() call contain user-supplied data.

This problem has been assigned the name CAN-2004-0541 [1] by the=20 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project.

This problem was first reported by iDEFENSE [2].=20
