-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2798-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso November 20, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : curl Vulnerability : unchecked ssl certificate host name Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-4545 The update for curl in DSA-2798-1 uncovered a regression affecting the curl command line tool behaviour (#729965). This update disables host verification too when using the --insecure option. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze6. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy6. For the testing (jessie) and unstable (sid) distributions, the curl command line tool behaves as expected with the --insecure option. For reference the original advisory text follows. 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. The default configuration for the curl package is not affected by this issue since CURLOPT_SSLVERIFYPEER is enabled by default. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 7.21.0-2.1+squeeze5. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy5. For the testing (jessie) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem has been fixed in version 7.33.0-1. We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
