Detail
Problem Description: Updated curl packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 4, and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 3. Description: cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict servers, using any of the supported protocols. cURL is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. David Kierznowski discovered a flaw in libcurl where it would not differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic redirects. This caused libcurl to follow any new URL that it understood, including the "file://" URL type. This could allow a remote server to force a local libcurl-using application to read a local file instead of the remote one, possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be exposed. (CVE-2009-0037) Note: Applications using libcurl that are expected to follow redirects to "file://" protocol must now explicitly call curl_easy_setopt(3) and set the newly introduced CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS option as required. cURL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications using libcurl must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 485271 - CVE-2009-0037 curl: local file access via unsafe redirects |

Title: | DSA-1738-1 curl -- arbitrary file access | ||
Description: | David Kierznowski discovered that libcurl, a multi-protocol file transfer library, when configured to follow URL redirects automatically, does not question the new target location. As libcurl also supports file:// and scp:// URLs - depending on the setup - an untrusted server could use that to expose local files, overwrite local files or even execute arbitrary code via a malicious URL redirect. This update introduces a new option called CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS which by default does not include the scp and file protocol handlers. For the oldstable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 7.15.5-1etch2. For the stable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 7.18.2-8lenny2. For the unstable distribution this problem has been fixed in version 7.18.2-8.1. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages. | ||
