Description

Thomas Reifferscheid has reported a vulnerability in Adzapper, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "squid_redirect" script when handling URLs that contain a large number of forward slashes. This can be exploited to cause squid to consume large amount of CPU resources, potentially causing a DoS.


Solution
Update to versions released on 2006-01-29 or later.
