Squid Crash PoC
This PoC exploits a denial of service vulnerability in Squid 3.3.5. The vulnerability is triggered when a specially crafted HTTP request is sent to the Squid service. The request contains a large Host header with 2000 'yc' characters. This causes the Squid service to crash and respawn.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Squid 3.3.8 or later.
