Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.841313
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1721-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the USN-1721-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the USN-1721-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled SASL authentication when
communicating over POP3, SMTP or IMAP. If a user or automated system were
tricked into processing a specially crafted URL, an attacker could cause
a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default
compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a
denial of service.

Affected Software/OS:
'curl' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.10.

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
