| Detailed Description |
The relevant host is running a version of Squid caching proxy which is older than 3.2.9 or 3.3.3. Squid is a freely available Web Proxy server for Linux and Unix distributions. Squid Web Proxy Cache versions prior to 3.2.9 or 3.3.3 are affected by a denial of service vulnerability. An error exists in the function 'strHdrAcptLangGetItem' in the file 'errorpage.cc' that could allow certain 'Accept-Language' HTTP headers to cause a denial of service condition.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote Squid Web Proxy Cache server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
