Are there any Snort subscribers who have access to the latest ruleset?
I am interested to see how the Snort rules are addressing the proxy
cache poisoning issues.
I am assuming that this is based on the HTTP Request
Splitting/Smuggling whitepaper that Amit Klein, Ory Segal and Co put
out - http://www.watchfire.com/resources/HTTP-Request-Smuggling.pdf
There were many different mechanisms for possibly smuggling a request
and I am wondering what Snort sigs they created for this.
Thanks,

The Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT) has learned of
serious vulnerabilities affecting IBM Websphere and Squid HTTP proxy
server.
Details:
A Squid proxy server can cache resources to make access to them more
efficient. A malformed request sent to a Squid proxy server may be
interpreted and processed differently than the actual responding web
server. A particular malformed request that contains two
"Content-Length" header fields can be used to try to poison the cache
by causing the Squid proxy server and an upstream server to process
the contents differently.
A rule to detect attacks against this vulnerability is included in
this rule pack and is identified as sid 3694.
IBM WebSphere may use form-based authentication to permit access to
applications. The CGI variables j_username and j_password are used
for this authentication process. Overly long values passed to these
variables can cause a buffer overflow and the subsequent execution of
arbitrary code on the vulnerable server. This is due to a failure in
the code to accommodate wide-character expansion for the receiving
buffer.
