Buffer overflows in Squid before 2.4.STABLE6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code (1) via the MSNT auth helper (msnt_auth) when using denyusers or allowusers files, (2) via the gopher client, or (3) via the FTP server directory listing parser when HTML output is generated.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-0713 is an old Squid proxy buffer-overflow issue. A remote attacker could crash vulnerable Squid versions and may be able to run arbitrary code. Business urgency depends on whether any legacy Squid instance before 2.4.STABLE6 remains reachable. Exposure is most likely in legacy proxy infrastructure, appliances, or old Linux distributions still running Squid before 2.4.STABLE6, especially where affected helper or protocol handling paths are enabled. Treat as high priority only if legacy Squid is still deployed. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected, but internet-reachable vulnerable proxies warrant prompt remediation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Squid to 2.4.STABLE6 or a vendor-patched package.; Retire unsupported Squid 2.4 deployments where possible.; Check relevant vendor advisories for distribution backports..
