Title:RHSA-2017:3263: curl security update (Moderate)
Description:The curl packages provide the libcurl library and the curl utility for downloading files from servers using various protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and LDAP.

Security Fix(es):

  • A buffer overrun flaw was found in the IMAP handler of libcurl. By tricking an unsuspecting user into connecting to a malicious IMAP server, an attacker could exploit this flaw to potentially cause information disclosure or crash the application. (CVE-2017-1000257)

    Red Hat would like to thank the Curl project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Brian Carpenter and the OSS-Fuzz project as the original reporters.
