frontier-squid - The Frontier distribution of the Squid proxy caching server

License: GPL
Vendor: Koji
Description:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.  This
squid distribution has been expecially tuned to work with the Frontier
server to cache Database entries retrieved from an ORACLE back-end,
particularly its need for the http standard If-Modified-Since feature.

Packages

frontier-squid-4.13-1.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [8.0 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-29):
- Upgrade to 4.13-1tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.13 with release announcement at
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00117.html
    It includes a couple of relevant security advisories related to
    cache poisoning.
 - Remove patch for bug 5051 since it is included in the 4.13 release.
- Remove the recursion on the restorecon for SELinux in the %post install
    step, to avoid taking a long time when going through a large cache.
frontier-squid-4.11-3.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [6.7 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-03):
- Upgrade to 4.11-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Apply patch for bug #5051 which prevents a negative cache from
    persisting indefinitely with if-modified-since and collapsed forwarding.
 - Fix shoal when there are multiple squid workers.
 - Add cc.*\.in2p3\.fr to MAJOR_CVMFS.  It was already in ATLAS_FRONTIER
    so it was included for installations that accept both, but not for
    those that accept only MAJOR_CVMFS.
frontier-squid-4.10-3.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [6.7 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-03-16):
- Upgrade to 4.10-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update patch for squid bug #5022 to final version.
 - Add patch for squid bug #5030 which reported that negative caching
    was not working.  This is an important feature for keeping load
    down on CVMFS stratum 1s that are not hosting a repository.
frontier-squid-4.10-1.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [6.7 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-02-03):
- Upgrade to 4.10-1 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.10, with release notes at
    https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00103.html
   including a fix for a serious security vulnerability affecting
   reverse proxies and a potential information leak when proxying ftp.
 - Remove patch for bug #4735, as it has been included in the 4.10 release.
 - Change compressing log rotation back to use copytruncate when there
   are multiple workers, because the reconfigure signal triggers an
   SNMP bug when there are multiple workers (squid bug #5022).
 - Disable log rotatation when SQUID_MAX_ACCESS_LOG=0.  Using this is
    highly discouraged since standard logrotate is usually unable to
    keep up with the high volume of logs typically generated by squid.
    It also interferes with frontier-awstats support.
 - Change log rotating cron scripts to ignore commented lines in
    /etc/sysconfig/frontier-squid
frontier-squid-4.9-2.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [6.7 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-11-10):
- Upgrade to 4.9-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Fix bug in daily cron that prevented it from rotating any logs
frontier-squid-4.8-2.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [6.7 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-08-29):
- Upgrade to 4.8-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Add support for starting and stopping shoal-agent when installed and
   enabled by SQUID_AUTO_DISCOVER=true
- Add compilation and installation for shoal-agent
frontier-squid-4.8-1.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.6 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-07-17):
- Upgrade to 4.8-1 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.8 with release notes at
    https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00096.html
   There was no 4.7 announcement but here's the ChangeLog:
    https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/blob/f977bfa698ab92e9474c775cef0e01fb756a4b0f/ChangeLog
frontier-squid-4.4-2.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.6 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-07-17):
- Upgrade to 4.4-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Apply security patch for CVE-2019-12527
      http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2019_5.txt
    which can (before being patched) be exploited through the ftp protocol.
frontier-squid-4.4-1.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.6 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2018-10-31):
- Upgrade to 4.4-1 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.4 with release notes at
    https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00086.html
   including one fairly significant security fix for a potential denial
   of service due to memory leaks on rejected SNMP queries.
 - If different squid services have different numbers of workers (for
    example by using setserviceoption on "workers") then use the biggest
    number when creating cache and log directories.
frontier-squid-3.5.27-5.2.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.3 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2018-07-19):
- Add %verify (not user group) to the %ghost statements for cache dir
  and log dir, and add %verify (not user group mode) on squid.conf and
  squid.conf.old.  Without those, rpm -V complains on el7 only, not el6.
frontier-squid-3.5.27-3.1.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.3 MiB] Changelog by Carl Edquist (2018-03-12):
- Fix selinux perms for /var/cache/squid (SOFTWARE-3174)
frontier-squid-3.5.27-3.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.3 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2018-01-24):
- Upgrade to 3.5.27-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Add configuration options to always honor "Pragma: no-cache" from a
   client, even if the client also sends a "Cache-control" header, as
   the current frontier-client (v2.8.20) always does.
     https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4809
 - Included provided patches from the squid project related to two
   denial of service security advisories which they say could affect
   all reverse proxies.
    http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2018_1.txt
    http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2018_2.txt
   For example frontier server launchpad squids are configured as
   reverse proxies.
frontier-squid-3.5.27-2.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.3 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2017-12-08):
- Upgrade to 3.5.27-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Add openhtc.io aliases to CMS_FRONTIER, ATLAS_FRONTIER, and MAJOR_CVMFS
   acls.
frontier-squid-3.5.24-3.1.osg34.el6.x86_64 [2.3 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2017-03-22):
- Upgrade to 3.5.24-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Change quick_abort_min and quick_abort_max once again, this time to
   0 KB, because someone doing a different repeatable test found that
   the 1 GB value still caused some crashes but 0 KB didn't.
