The Squid HTTP Proxy team is very pleased to announce the availability of the Squid-3.3.7 release! This release is a security bug fix release resolving a vulnerability issue found in the prior Squid releases. The major changes to be aware of: * Buffer Overflow vulnerability fixed The security vulnerability SQUID-2013:2 is fixed by this release. This vulnerability was identified from active 0-day attacks affecting Squid-3.2 and later versions. Upgrade or patching of existing proxy installations is highly recommended. The underlying bug is preent in all Squid 2.0 and later but only exposed in 3.2 series. Patches are provided in the Advisory for all 3.x versions as a preventative measure for older versions. * Multiple SSL build issues resolved A better fix for bug 3759 which also incorporates a fix for bug 3297 and several other unreported bugs has been added. These bugs are present with OpenSSL 1.0.0* versions on some Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and operating system distributions derived from them. They are visible as compile errors mentioning "const _STACK *", "const SSL_METHOD" and/or "sk_OPENSSL_PSTRING_value" when building against an affected OpenSSL library. Other compile errors may still exist. Please contribute to the existing bugzilla entries or report any new issues identified in this version. See the ChangeLog for the full list of changes in this and earlier releases. All users are urged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. Please remember to run "squid -k parse" when testing upgrade to a new version of Squid. It will audit your configuration files and report any identifiable issues the new release will have in your installation before you "press go". We are still removing the infamous "Bungled Config" halting points and adding checks, so if something is not identified please report it. Please refer to the release notes at http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.3/RELEASENOTES.html when you are ready to make the switch to Squid-3.3 Upgrade tip: "squid -k parse" is starting to display even more useful hints about squid.conf changes.
