Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2013-038-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the SSA:2013-038-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'curl' package(s) announced via the SSA:2013-038-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New curl packages are available for Slackware 14.0, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/curl-7.29.0-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded. When negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, the function Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message() uses the data provided from the server without doing the proper length checks and that data is then appended to a local fixed-size buffer on the stack. This vulnerability can be exploited by someone who is in control of a server that a libcurl based program is accessing with POP3, SMTP or IMAP. For applications that accept user provided URLs, it is also thinkable that a malicious user would feed an application with a URL to a server hosting code targeting this flaw. Affected versions: curl 7.26.0 to and including 7.28.1 For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'curl' package(s) on Slackware 14.0, Slackware current. 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
