Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Squid, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "strListGetItem()" function when parsing external authentication headers. This can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop via a header containing ',' characters.
Successful exploitation requires that an "external_acl_type" configuration option defining a delimiter different from ',' is present.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.7.STABLE3. Other versions may also be affected.
