An information disclosure issue has been found in Squid before 4.9, when processing HTTP Digest Authentication. The nonce tokens contain the raw byte value of a pointer which sits within heap memory allocation, which reduces ASLR protections and may aid attackers isolating memory areas to target for remote code execution attacks.
