Published Feb 4, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 6.8% KEV · Not listed
Description

On systems with memory access protections, this can result in the helper process being terminated unexpectedly. This leads to the Squid process also terminating and a denial of service for all clients using the proxy.
