Description David Walser 2013-11-18 22:13:18 CET

Debian has issued an advisory on November 17:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2013/msg00212.html

The upstream advisory for this issue is here:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20131115.html

Cauldron is not affected as it was fixed upstream in 7.33.0.

Patched packages uploaded for Mageia 2 and Mageia 3.

Advisory:
========================

Updated curl packages fix security vulnerability:

Scott Cantor discovered that curl, a file retrieval tool, would disable the
CURLOPT_SSLVERIFYHOST check when the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER setting was
disabled. This would also disable ssl certificate host name checks when it
should have only disabled verification of the certificate trust chain
(CVE-2013-4545).

I assume you mean i586.  Adding the whiteboard marker.  Thanks for testing, Dan.

Testing complete x86_64, but not testing pop3 because not sure if it would remove the mail from the server.

It doesn't remove it Samuel. Thanks for testing.

Testing complete mga3 32 & 64

Comment 9 David Walser 2013-11-21 14:58:05 CET

FYI, adding this patch to the Mageia 2 version of curl uncovered a bug in curl with the --insecure option, where that option should disable SSL host verification and fails to do so.  This was fixed in newer versions of curl, so Mageia 3 is unaffected.  I've have added the simple one-liner fix in Mageia 2 SVN to fix this, but I won't push for a bugfix update unless someone thinks it's really important.
