According to its banner, the version of Squid running on the remote host is 3.x prior to 3.5.18. It is, therefore, vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing ESI responses. This problem allows a remote server delivering certain ESI response syntax to trigger a denial of service for all clients accessing the Squid service.
