VuXML ID cf9986f2-cd8d-11d9-a230-00065bd5b0b6

The squid patches page notes:

Malicious users may spoof DNS lookups if the DNS client UDP port (random, assigned by OS as startup) is unfiltered and your network is not protected from IP spoofing.

This patch adds access controls to the cachemgr.cgi script, preventing it from being abused to reach other servers than allowed in a local configuration file.
