FKIE_CVE-2008-1612

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2008-04-01 17:44 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:52
Severity
Summary
The arrayShrink function (lib/Array.c) in Squid 2.6.STABLE17 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (process exit) via unknown vectors that cause an array to shrink to 0 entries, which triggers an assert error. NOTE: this issue is due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2007-6239.
