DoSable squid proxy server

Summary
A problem exists in the way the remote Squid proxy server handles a special 'mkdir-only' PUT request, and causes denial of service to the proxy server. An attacker may use this flaw to prevent your LAN users from accessing the web.
Solution
Apply the vendor released patch, for squid it is located here: www.squid-cache.org. You can also protect yourself by enabling access lists on your proxy.
