Squid · Squid · CVE-2014-6270
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Squid versions 2.x through 3.x
**Description**
The issue is related to an off-by-one error in the `snmpHandleUdp` function, which can be exploited by remote attackers. This error occurs when a specially crafted UDP SNMP request is sent, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. As a result, attackers can cause a denial of service, leading to a crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For Squid versions 2.x through 3.x, consider disabling the SNMP port or restricting access to it until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `snmpHandleUdp` function in the `snmp core.cc` file to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
