---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
cachemgr.cgi, the manager interface to Squid, is installed by
default in /home/httpd/cgi-bin. If a web server (such as apache)
is running, this can allow remote users to sent connect() requests
from the local machine to arbitrary hosts and ports.
2. Bug IDs fixed:
3. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.0, all architectures
Red Hat Linux 5.2, all architectures
4. Obsoleted by:
5. Conflicts with:
6. RPMs required:

7. Problem description:
A remote user could enter a hostname/IP address and port
number, and the cachemgr CGI would attempt to connect to that
host and port, printing the error if it fails.
8. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Uvh <filename>
where filename is the name of the RPM.
Alternatively, you can simply disable the cachemgr.cgi,
by editing your http daemons access control files or
deleting/moving the cachemgr.cgi binary.
9. Verification:
MD5 sum Package Name
