The asn_parse_header function (asn1.c) in the SNMP module for Squid Web Proxy Cache before 2.4.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server restart) via certain SNMP packets with negative length fields that trigger a memory allocation error.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Squid Web Proxy Cache issue can let a remote attacker crash and restart the proxy using malformed SNMP packets. The business impact is service disruption, not data theft, based on the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Squid Web Proxy Cache deployments before 2.4.STABLE7 with the SNMP module reachable by untrusted networks. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or critical proxy infrastructure still running legacy Squid. For modern environments without affected Squid versions, this is mainly a legacy exposure check. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Squid Web Proxy Cache to 2.4.STABLE7 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant distributor errata for affected operating system packages.; Retire unsupported Squid versions where maintained packages are unavailable..
