Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 24 Sep 2014
Modification date: 24 Sep 2014
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 4
CVE: CVE-2014-3613 , CVE-2014-3620

Description

Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities:

In cURL before 7.38.0, libcurl can be fooled to both sending cookies to wrong
sites and into allowing arbitrary sites to set cookies for others. For this
problem to trigger, the client application must use the numerical IP address
in the URL to access the site (CVE-2014-3613).

In cURL before 7.38.0, libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level
Domains (TLDs), thus making them apply broader than cookies are allowed. This
can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to a
different and unrelated site or domain (CVE-2014-3620).
