APP: SQUID WCCP Message Denial of Service
This signature detects invalid WCCP "I_SEE_YOU" messages sent to a Squid proxy server. A malicious user can send an invalid WCC message and cause the Squid process to crash.
Extended Description
A remote denial-of-service vulnerability affects the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) functionality of Squid Proxy. This issue is due to the application's failure to handle unexpected network data. A remote attacker may leverage this issue to crash the affected Squid Proxy, denying service to legitimate users. UPDATE: This issue was thought to result from a call to the 'recvfrom()' function. This has turned out to be incorrect; the buffer overflow from the call to 'recvfrom()' has been determined to be a new vulnerability (BID 12432).
