DNS: Squid DNS Replies Invalid Free


This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Squid while processing certain DNS replies. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

The idnsGrokReply function in Squid before 3.1.16 does not properly free memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon abort) via a DNS reply containing a CNAME record that references another CNAME record that contains an empty A record.
