Fixes the following vulnerability:
- CVE-2025-62168:
Squid is a caching proxy for the Web. In Squid versions prior to 7.2,
a failure to redact HTTP authentication credentials in error handling
allows information disclosure. The vulnerability allows a script to
bypass browser security protections and learn the credentials a
trusted client uses to authenticate. This potentially allows a remote
client to identify security tokens or credentials used internally by a
web application using Squid for backend load balancing. These attacks
do not require Squid to be configured with HTTP authentication. The
vulnerability is fixed in version 7.2. As a workaround, disable debug
information in administrator mailto links generated by Squid by
configuring squid.conf with email_err_data off.
