RHBA-2012:0122 - squid bug fix update
Synopsis
squid bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated squid package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients, supporting FTP, Gopher, and HTTP data objects.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Squid did not properly release allocated memory when generating error page contents, which caused memory leaks. Consequently, the Squid proxy server consumed a huge amount of memory within a short time period. This update fixes this memory leak and Squid no longer consumes more memory than expected. (BZ#788449)
All users of squid are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug. After installing this update, the squid service will be restarted automatically.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
