There is a known memory leak in squid 5.2 - as noted here: https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5132

The only readily available version of squid in the latest LTS release of Ubuntu (22.04) is 5.2-1ubuntu4.1, which means that doing a release upgrade leads to Ubuntu web proxies having an unstable instance of squid, as it gets OOM killed.

See, for example, another user with an issue: https://www.spinics.net/lists/squid/msg95428.html
