CVE-2016-2390

The FwdState::connectedToPeer method in FwdState.cc in Squid before 3.5.14 and 4.0.x before 4.0.6 does not properly handle SSL handshake errors when built with the --with-openssl option, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a plaintext HTTP message.

This issue did not affect the versions of squid as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 5, 6 and 7, as they are not shipped with a vulnerable version of squid, and no currently backported patch would introduce the bug.
