Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
curl is vulnerable to a buffer overflow which could lead to the |
19 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
curl is a command line tool for transferring files via many different |
25 |
protocols. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
curl fails to properly check boundaries when handling NTLM |
39 |
authentication. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
With a malicious server an attacker could send a carefully crafted NTLM |
45 |
response to a connecting client leading to the execution of arbitrary |
46 |
code with the permissions of the user running curl. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
Disable NTLM authentication by not using the --anyauth or --ntlm |
52 |
options. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All curl users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/curl-7.13.1" |
61 |
