Description:
Caldera has issued updates to the squid proxy. This addresses an older issue, where users on a local network or users otherwise authorized to connect through the proxy could execute arbitrary code.

Squid failed to parse ftp and gopher listings correctly when transforming them into html, this could be abused to execute arbitrary code.

Other fixes include prevention of FTP connection theft or injection, a problem in MSNT auth helper and proxy authentication credentials.

By using a little social engineering this could easily be exploited by remote persons as well.
