Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-4331-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DSA-4331-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DSA-4331-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Two vulnerabilities were discovered in cURL, an URL transfer library. CVE-2018-16839 Harry Sintonen discovered that, on systems with a 32 bit size_t, an integer overflow would be triggered when a SASL user name longer than 2GB is used. This would in turn cause a very small buffer to be allocated instead of the intended very huge one, which would trigger a heap buffer overflow when the buffer is used. CVE-2018-16842 Brian Carpenter discovered that the logic in the curl tool to wrap error messages at 80 columns is flawed, leading to a read buffer overflow if a single word in the message is itself longer than 80 bytes. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 7.52.1-5+deb9u8. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages. For the detailed security status of curl please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'curl' package(s) on Debian 9. 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
