Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0316)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0316 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0316 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The four libcurl functions curl_escape(), curl_easy_escape(), curl_unescape and curl_easy_unescape perform string URL percent escaping and unescaping. They accept custom string length inputs in signed integer arguments. The provided string length arguments were not properly checked and due to arithmetic in the functions, passing in the length 0xffffffff (2^32-1 or UINT_MAX or even just -1) would end up causing an allocation of zero bytes of heap memory that curl would attempt to write gigabytes of data into (CVE-2016-7167). Affected Software/OS: 'curl' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
