Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DSA-3122-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Andrey Labunets of Facebook discovered that cURL, an URL transfer library, fails to properly handle URLs with embedded end-of-line characters. An attacker able to make an application using libcurl to access a specially crafted URL via an HTTP proxy could use this flaw to do additional requests in a way that was not intended, or insert additional request headers into the request.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy12.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 7.38.0-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
