CVE-2019-18678

squid: HTTP Request Splitting issue in HTTP message processing

Published Nov 26, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS 6.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
An issue was discovered in Squid 3.x and 4.x through 4.8. It allows attackers to smuggle HTTP requests through frontend software to a Squid instance that splits the HTTP Request pipeline differently. The resulting Response messages corrupt caches (between a client and Squid) with attacker-controlled content at arbitrary URLs. Effects are isolated to software between the attacker client and Squid. There are no effects on Squid itself, nor on any upstream servers. The issue is related to a request header containing whitespace between a header name and a colon.
