Description

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31808

Due to an integer overflow bug Squid is vulnerable to a Denial
of Service attack against all clients using the proxy.


Severity:

These problems all allow a trusted client to perform Denial of
Service when making HTTP Range requests.

The integer overflow problem allows a remote server to perform
Denial of Service when delivering responses to HTTP Range
requests. The issue trigger is a header which can be expected to
exist in HTTP traffic without any malicious intent.
