CVE-2020-14058

squid: DoS in TLS handshake

Published Jun 30, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 2.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
An issue was discovered in Squid before 4.12 and 5.x before 5.0.3. Due to use of a potentially dangerous function, Squid and the default certificate validation helper are vulnerable to a Denial of Service when opening a TLS connection to an attacker-controlled server for HTTPS. This occurs because unrecognized error values are mapped to NULL, but later code expects that each error value is mapped to a valid error string.
