Description
Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host
header to determine the remote endpoint, which allows remote attackers to
bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and probably other
technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via
a crafted web page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a
modified Host header.
