1.30.1. RHSA-2009:1209: Moderate security update
Important
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as the security errata RHSA-2009:1209
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict servers, using any of the supported protocols. cURL is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity.
Scott Cantor reported that cURL is affected by the previously published "null prefix attack", caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse cURL into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2009-2417)
cURL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. All running applications using libcurl must be restarted for the update to take effect.

David Kierznowski discovered a flaw in libcurl where it would not differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic redirects. This caused libcurl to follow any new URL that it understood, including the "file://" URL type. This could allow a remote server to force a local libcurl-using application to read a local file instead of the remote one, possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be exposed. (CVE-2009-0037)
Note: Applications using libcurl that are expected to follow redirects to "file://" protocol must now explicitly call curl_easy_setopt(3) and set the newly introduced CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS option as required.
