Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-767-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DLA-767-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'curl' package(s) announced via the DLA-767-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that libcurl's implementation of the printf() functions triggers a buffer overflow when doing a large floating point output. The bug occurs when the conversion outputs more than 255 bytes. The flaw happens because the floating point conversion is using system functions without the correct boundary checks. If there are any application that accepts a format string from the outside without necessary input filtering, it could allow remote attacks. This flaw does not exist in the command line tool. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy18. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'curl' package(s) on Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
