Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51796
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-86-1 (curl)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to curl
announced via advisory USN-86-1.

infamous41md discovered a buffer overflow in cURL's NT LAN Manager
(NTLM) authentication handling. By sending a specially crafted long
NTLM reply packet, a remote attacker could overflow the reply buffer.
This could lead to execution of arbitrary attacker specified code with
the privileges of the application using the cURL library.

The following packages are affected:

libcurl2
libcurl2-gssapi

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 7.12.0.is.7.11.2-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system
upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
