Year after year I am astonished that squid has been kept back in Ubuntu, when all other distros update this important and hugely popular software with every release.
Squid 3.3 became DEPRECATED in 2013 !!!

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Squid-3.3

Please read the note from the squid page:

"Squid-3.3 is CONSIDERED DANGEROUS as the security people say. Due to unfixed vulnerabilities CVE-2014-7141, CVE-2014-7142 and CVE-2014-6270 and any other recently discovered issues."

PLEASE update it to 3.5.x (as 3.4 is also marked DEPRECATED - bold letters from squid website, not mine) in 16.04 LTS.
