__________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Squid configured with client-first SSL-bump does not correctly
 validate X509 server certificate domain / hostname fields.

__________________________________________________________________

Severity:

 The bug is important because it allows remote servers to bypass
 client certificate validation. Some attackers may also be able
 to use valid certificates for one domain signed by a global
 Certificate Authority to abuse an unrelated domain.

 However, the bug is exploitable only if you have configured
 Squid to perform SSL Bumping with the "client-first" or "bump"
 mode of operation.

 Sites that do not use SSL-Bump are not vulnerable.

__________________________________________________________________

Updated Packages:

 This bug is fixed by Squid version 3.5.4, 3.4.13, 3.3.14, and
 3.2.14.

 In addition, patches addressing this problem for stable releases
 can be found in our patch archives:

Squid 3.2:

Squid 3.3:

tch

 If you are using a prepackaged version of Squid then please refer
 to the package vendor for availability information on updated
 packages.

__________________________________________________________________

Determining if your version is vulnerable:

 All Squid-2.x, 3.0 and 3.1 are not vulnerable to the problem.


1) Run "squid -v" to determine if SSL support is enabled.

 All Squid built without SSL support are not vulnerable to the
 problem.


2) Run "squid -k parse 2>&1 | grep ssl_bump" to determine if
SSL-Bump is being used.

 All Squid-3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 operating with ssl_bump omitted
 from squid.conf are not vulnerable to the problem.

 All unpatched Squid-3.x operating with "ssl_bump client-first"
 in squid.conf are vulnerable to the problem.

 All unpatched Squid-3.x operating with "ssl_bump bump" in
 squid.conf are vulnerable to the problem.

__________________________________________________________________

Workaround:

 There is no workaround for Squid-3.2.

 For Squid-3.3 and 3.4, upgrade the squid.conf settings to use
 "ssl_bump server-first".

 For Squid-3.5, upgrade the squid.conf settings to use a
 "ssl_bump peek" operation before the "bump" operation.

  NOTE that these workarounds do not resolve the vulnerability,
  but allow Squid to relay (or mimic) the invalid certificate to
  clients and depends on validation in the client.


Or,

 Disable SSL-Bump. Which may be done in the following ways:

 * Build Squid-3.2, 3.3, or 3.4 with ./configure --disable-ssl

 * Build Squid-3.5 with ./configure --without-openssl

 * Remove from squid.conf (and include'd files) any ssl_bump
   directives.
