Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the squid package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2002:027 (squid).
A security issue has recently been found and fixed in the Squid-2.X releases up
to and including 2.4.STABLE4.
Error and boundary conditions were not checked when handling compressed DNS
answer messages in the internal DNS code (lib/rfc1035.c). A malicous DNS server
could craft a DNS reply that causes Squid to exit with a SIGSEGV.
