news 28 Posted February 8, 2013 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] curl (SSA:2013-038-01) New curl packages are available for Slackware 14.0, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/curl-7.29.0-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded. When negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, the function Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message() uses the data provided from the server without doing the proper length checks and that data is then appended to a local fixed-size buffer on the stack. This vulnerability can be exploited by someone who is in control of a server that a libcurl based program is accessing with POP3, SMTP or IMAP. For applications that accept user provided URLs, it is also thinkable that a malicious user would feed an application with a URL to a server hosting code targeting this flaw. Affected versions: curl 7.26.0 to and including 7.28.1 For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-0249 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
