Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0444
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0444)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0444 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0444 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated curl packages fix security vulnerability:

Symeon Paraschoudis discovered that the curl_easy_duphandle() function in
cURL has a bug that can lead to libcurl eventually sending off sensitive data
that was not intended for sending, while performing a HTTP POST operation.
This bug requires CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS and curl_easy_duphandle() to be used
in that order, and then the duplicate handle must be used to perform the HTTP
POST. The curl command line tool is not affected by this problem as it does
not use this sequence (CVE-2014-3707).

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
