reject URLs containing bad data (CVE-2012-0036)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-02 (cURL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in cURL:
      When zlib is enabled, the amount of data sent to an application for         automatic decompression is not restricted (CVE-2010-0734).
      When performing GSSAPI authentication, credential delegation is         always used (CVE-2011-2192).
      When SSL is enabled, cURL improperly disables the OpenSSL workaround         to mitigate an information disclosure vulnerability in the SSL and TLS         protocols (CVE-2011-3389).
      libcurl does not properly verify file paths for escape control         characters in IMAP, POP3 or SMTP URLs (CVE-2012-0036).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated process to open a       specially crafted file or URL using cURL, possibly resulting in the       remote execution of arbitrary code, a Denial of Service condition,       disclosure of sensitive information, or unwanted actions performed via       the IMAP, POP3 or SMTP protocols. Furthermore, remote servers may be able       to impersonate clients via GSSAPI requests.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in curl :

curl is vulnerable to a SSL CBC IV vulnerability when built to use OpenSSL for the SSL/TLS layer. A work-around has been added to mitigate the problem (CVE-2011-3389).

curl is vulnerable to a data injection attack for certain protocols through control characters embedded or percent-encoded in URLs (CVE-2012-0036).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
