Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0282)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0282 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0282 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities:

libcurl can be tricked to prepend a part of the password to the host name
before it resolves it, potentially leaking the partial password over the
network and to the DNS server(s) (CVE-2020-8169).

curl can be tricked by a malicious server to overwrite a local file when
using -J (--remote-header-name) and -i (--include) in the same command
line (CVE-2020-8177).

The curl package has been updated to version 7.71.0, fixing these issues
and other bugs.

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
