Description:
A security issue has been reported in Squid, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The issue is caused due to some LDAP implementations ignoring leading/trailing whitespaces in usernames. This can be exploited to bypass certain ACLs based on usernames or trick some log analysis by supplying a username with a whitespace in the beginning or end during the authentication process.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.5 and prior.
