Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-54574 is a vulnerability affecting Squid, a caching proxy for the Web. Specifically, versions 6.3 and below are susceptible to a heap buffer overflow due to incorrect buffer management when processing Uniform Resource Names (URNs). This flaw can be triggered when Squid receives a Trivial-HTTP response containing a URN. Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-54574 can lead to remote code execution, potentially allowing attackers to gain control over affected Squid proxy servers. Additionally, the vulnerability can cause Squid to unintentionally leak up to 4KB of heap memory back to the client, potentially exposing sensitive information like credentials or configuration data. Version 6.4 addresses this issue.

Description
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. In versions 6.3 and below, Squid is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow and possible remote code execution attack when processing URN due to incorrect buffer management. This has been fixed in version 6.4. To work around this issue, disable URN access permissions.
