http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-8449
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-8450
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to incorrect input validation Squid can interpret crafted
HTTP requests in unexpected ways to access server resources
prohibited by earlier security filters.
Due to incorrect buffer management a remote client can cause
a buffer overflow in a Squid acting as reverse-proxy.
__________________________________________________________________
Severity:
This issue allows attackers to perform denial of service on the
proxy and all clients using it.
This issue potentially allows attackers to bypass security access
controls in systems between client and proxy.
This issue potentially allows remote code execution under the
proxy low-privilege level. While restricted, it does have access
to a wide range of information about the network structure and
other clients using the proxy.
This issue is limited to Squid acting as a reverse-proxy. Some
effects also require allow_direct permissions.

'accel' or 'vhost' options configured are vulnerable.
All Squid-3.x up to and including 3.5.28 with http_port
'accel' or 'vhost' options configured are vulnerable.
All Squid-4.x up to and including 4.9 with with http_port
