Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 03 May 2015
Modification date: 03 May 2015
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 4
CVE: CVE-2015-3143 , CVE-2015-3145 , CVE-2015-3148

Description

Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities:

NTLM-authenticated connections could be wrongly reused for requests without
any credentials set, leading to HTTP requests being sent over the connection
authenticated as a different user (CVE-2015-3143).

When parsing HTTP cookies, if the parsed cookie's "path" element consists of a
single double-quote, libcurl would try to write to an invalid heap memory
address. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) (CVE-2015-3145).

When doing HTTP requests using the Negotiate authentication method along with
NTLM, the connection used would not be marked as authenticated, making it
possible to reuse it and send requests for one user over the connection
authenticated as a different user (CVE-2015-3148).
