Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-726-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the USN-726-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the USN-726-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-726-1 fixed a vulnerability in curl. Due to an incomplete fix, a regression was introduced in Ubuntu 8.10 that caused certain types of URLs to fail. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that curl did not enforce any restrictions when following URL redirects. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a URL to an untrusted server, an attacker could use redirects to gain access to arbitrary files. This update changes curl behavior to prevent following 'file' URLs after a redirect. Affected Software/OS: 'curl' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
