    CVE-2016-2569

    Published: 27 Feb 2016Last Modified: 8 Jul 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Squid 3.x before 3.5.15 and 4.x before 4.0.7 does not properly append data to String objects, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a long string, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header.
