Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Target Squid proxy servers running version 2.5.STABLE10 or earlier with NTLM authentication enabled; sending specially crafted NTLM authentication request sequences triggers an assert/crash (daemon restart)
  • The vulnerability is specifically tied to the NTLM authentication scheme assert path in Squid; monitor for unexpected Squid daemon restarts when NTLM authentication is in use
  • Sending specially crafted NTLM authentication requests to Squid caused the server to crash; detect anomalous or malformed NTLM negotiation sequences directed at Squid listeners
  • ·RHEL 2.1 is not affected because it does not ship the NTLM helper; the vulnerability only applies where the NTLM authentication helper is present and enabled
