20 August 2020
curl could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.
Releases
Packages
- curl - HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries
Details
USN-4466-1 fixed a vulnerability in curl. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Marc Aldorasi discovered that curl incorrectly handled the libcurl
CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. This could result in data being sent to the
wrong destination, possibly exposing sensitive information.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04
-
libcurl3-gnutls
-
7.35.0-1ubuntu2.20+esm5
-
libcurl3-nss
-
7.35.0-1ubuntu2.20+esm5
-
curl
-
7.35.0-1ubuntu2.20+esm5
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
