CVE-2026-33515

Squid has issues in ICP message handling

Published Mar 26, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. Prior to version 7.5, due to improper input validation, Squid is vulnerable to out of bounds read when handling ICP traffic. This problem allows a remote attacker to receive small amounts of memory potentially containing sensitive information when responding with errors to invalid ICP requests. This attack is limited to Squid deployments that explicitly enable ICP support (i.e. configure non-zero `icp_port`). This problem cannot be mitigated by denying ICP queries using `icp_access` rules. Version 7.5 contains a patch.
