                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________

Package name:           squid
Date:                   July 25th, 2001
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:066

Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2

Problem Description:

 The Squid proxy server has a serious security flaw in versions
 2.3.STABLE2 through 2.3.STABLE4.  This problem surfaces when Squid is
 used in httpd_accel mode.  If you configure httpaccelwith_proxy off
 then any request to Squid is allowed.  Malicious users may use your
 proxy to portscan remote systems, forge email, and other activities.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Mandrake Linux 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
