| Description: | It was discovered that curl, a client and library to get files from servers using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP, is vulnerable to the "Null Prefix Attacks Against SSL/TLS Certificates" recently published at the Blackhat conference. This allows an attacker to perform undetected man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted ITU-T X.509 certificate with an injected null byte in the Common Name field. |
