Description

Squid 2.5.STABLE8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain DNS responses regarding (1) Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) in fqdncache.c or (2) IP addresses in ipcache.c, which trigger an assertion failure.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
